Try this way,hope this will help you to solve your problem.

int width;
int height;

ll.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
   @Override
   public void onGlobalLayout() {
     width = view.getMeasuredWidth();
     height = view.getMeasuredHeight();

   }
});

You can call

ll.post(new Runnable()
{
    public void run()
    {
        ll.getHeight(); 
    }
});

This will give you ll's height after adding the child views.
