Android getMeasuredHeight returns wrong values !

问题:

I'm trying to determine the real dimension in pixels of some UI elements !

Those elements are inflated from a .xml file and are initialized with dip width and height so that the GUI will eventually support multiple screen size and dpi (as recommended by android specs).

<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="150dip"
android:orientation="vertical">

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/TlFrame" 
    android:layout_width="110dip" 
    android:layout_height="90dip"
    android:src="@drawable/timeline_nodrawing"
    android:layout_margin="0dip"
    android:padding="0dip"/></LinearLayout>

This previous xml represent one frame. But I do add many dynamically inside a horizontal layout describe here :

<HorizontalScrollView 
        android:id="@+id/TlScroller"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_margin="0dip"
        android:padding="0dip"
        android:scrollbars="none"
        android:fillViewport="false"
        android:scrollbarFadeDuration="0"
        android:scrollbarDefaultDelayBeforeFade="0"
        android:fadingEdgeLength="0dip"
        android:scaleType="centerInside">

        <!-- HorizontalScrollView can only host one direct child -->
        <LinearLayout 
            android:id="@+id/TimelineContent" 
            android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:orientation="horizontal"
            android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
            android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
            android:layout_margin="0dip"
            android:padding="0dip"
            android:scaleType="centerInside"/>

    </HorizontalScrollView > 

The method defined to add one frame inside my java code :

private void addNewFrame()
{       
    LayoutInflater inflater     = (LayoutInflater) _parent.getContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
    ViewGroup root      = (ViewGroup) inflater.inflate(R.layout.tl_frame, null);
    TextView frameNumber = (TextView) root.findViewById(R.id.FrameNumber);
    Integer val = new Integer(_nFramesDisplayed+1); //+1 to display ids starting from one on the user side 
    frameNumber.setText(val.toString());

    ++_nFramesDisplayed;
    _content.addView(root);
// _content variable is initialized like this in c_tor
// _content = (LinearLayout) _parent.findViewById(R.id.TimelineContent);
}

Then inside my code, I try to get the actual real size in pixel because I need this to draw some opengl stuff over it.

LayoutInflater inflater     = (LayoutInflater) _parent.getContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
    ViewGroup root      = (ViewGroup) inflater.inflate(R.layout.tl_frame, null);
    ImageView frame = (ImageView) root.findViewById(R.id.TlFrame);

    frame.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
    frame.measure(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);

    final int w = frame.getMeasuredWidth();
    final int h = frame.getMeasuredHeight();

Everything seems to work fine except that those values are way bigger than the actual pixel size of the ImageView.

Reported infos from getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(metrics); are the following : density = 1,5 densityDpi = 240 widthPixel = 600 heightPixel = 1024

Now, I know the rule from android is : pixel = dip * (dpi /160). But nothing makes any sense with the value returned. For that ImageView of (90dip X 110dip), the returned values of the measure() method is (270 x 218) which I assumed is in pixel !

Anyone has any idea why ? Is the value returned in pixel ?

By the way : I've been testing the same code but with a TextView instead than an ImageView and everything seems to be working fine ! Why !?!?

回答1:

You're calling measure incorrectly.

measure takes MeasureSpec values which are specially packed by MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec. measure ignores LayoutParams. The parent doing the measuring is expected to create a MeasureSpec based on its own measurement and layout strategy and the child's LayoutParams.

If you want to measure the way that WRAP_CONTENT usually works in most layouts, call measure like this:

frame.measure(MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(maxWidth, MeasureSpec.AT_MOST),
        MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(maxHeight, MeasureSpec.AT_MOST));

If you don't have max values (for example if you're writing something like a ScrollView that has infinite space) you can use the UNSPECIFIED mode:

frame.measure(MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED),
        MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED));

回答2:

Do that:

frame.measure(0, 0);

final int w = frame.getMeasuredWidth();
final int h = frame.getMeasuredHeight();

Solved!

Ok ! Kind of Answering my own question here...But not completly

1 - It seems that on some devices, The ImageView measuring do not provide with exact values. I've seen lots of reports on this happenning on Nexus and Galaxy devices for example.

2 - A work around that I've come up with :

Set the width and height of your ImageView to "wrap_content" inside xml code.

Inflate the layout inside your code (generally in the UI initialization I suppose).

LayoutInflater inflater     = (LayoutInflater) 
_parent.getContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
ViewGroup root      = (ViewGroup) inflater.inflate(R.layout.tl_frame, null);
ImageView frame = (ImageView) root.findViewById(R.id.TlFrame);

Calculate your own ratio for your image view, based on the typical Android calculation

//ScreenDpi can be acquired by getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(metrics);
 pixelWidth = wantedDipSize * (ScreenDpi / 160)

Use the calculated size to set your ImageView dynamycally inside your code

frame.getLayoutParams().width = pixeWidth;

And voila ! your ImageView has now the wanted Dip size ;)

回答4:

view.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
 @SuppressLint("NewApi")
 @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
 @Override
  public void onGlobalLayout() {
   //now we can retrieve the width and height
   int width = view.getWidth();
   int height = view.getHeight();


   //this is an important step not to keep receiving callbacks:
   //we should remove this listener
   //I use the function to remove it based on the api level!

    if(android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN){
        view.getViewTreeObserver().removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(this);
    }else{
        view.getViewTreeObserver().removeGlobalOnLayoutListener(this);
    }
  }
 });

回答5:

You have to create Custom Textview and use it in your layouts and use getActual height function to set the height at runtime

public class TextViewHeightPlus extends TextView {
    private static final String TAG = "TextViewHeightPlus";
    private int actualHeight=0;


    public int getActualHeight() {
        return actualHeight;
    }

    public TextViewHeightPlus(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public TextViewHeightPlus(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
        setCustomFont(context, attrs);
    }

    public TextViewHeightPlus(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);

    }

   @Override
    protected void onSizeChanged(int w, int h, int oldw, int oldh) {
        super.onSizeChanged(w, h, oldw, oldh);
        actualHeight=0;

        actualHeight=(int) ((getLineCount()-1)*getTextSize());

    }

}

回答6:

Probably, because of what you have in AndroidManifest.xml (link) file and from which drawable-XXX directory the xml file comes, Android loads resources with scaling operation. You decide to use "dip" (link) dimension unit which is virtual and the real value (px) can be different.

回答7:

Unfortunately, in Activity lifecycle methods such as Activity#onCreate(Bundle), a layout pass has not yet been performed, so you can't yet retrieve the size of views in your view hierarchy. However, you can explicitly ask Android to measure a view using View#measure(int, int).

As @adamp's answer points out, you have to provide View#measure(int, int) with MeasureSpec values, but it can be a bit daunting figuring out the correct MeasureSpec.

The following method tries to determine the correct MeasureSpec values and measures the passed in view:

public class ViewUtil {

    public static void measure(@NonNull final View view) {
        final ViewGroup.LayoutParams layoutParams = view.getLayoutParams();

        final int horizontalMode;
        final int horizontalSize;
        switch (layoutParams.width) {
            case ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT:
                horizontalMode = View.MeasureSpec.EXACTLY;
                if (view.getParent() instanceof LinearLayout
                        && ((LinearLayout) view.getParent()).getOrientation() == LinearLayout.VERTICAL) {
                    ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams lp = (ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams) view.getLayoutParams();
                    horizontalSize = ((View) view.getParent()).getMeasuredWidth() - lp.leftMargin - lp.rightMargin;
                } else {
                    horizontalSize = ((View) view.getParent()).getMeasuredWidth();
                }
                break;
            case ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT:
                horizontalMode = View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED;
                horizontalSize = 0;
                break;
            default:
                horizontalMode = View.MeasureSpec.EXACTLY;
                horizontalSize = layoutParams.width;
                break;
        }
        final int horizontalMeasureSpec = View.MeasureSpec
                .makeMeasureSpec(horizontalSize, horizontalMode);

        final int verticalMode;
        final int verticalSize;
        switch (layoutParams.height) {
            case ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT:
                verticalMode = View.MeasureSpec.EXACTLY;
                if (view.getParent() instanceof LinearLayout
                        && ((LinearLayout) view.getParent()).getOrientation() == LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL) {
                    ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams lp = (ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams) view.getLayoutParams();
                    verticalSize = ((View) view.getParent()).getMeasuredHeight() - lp.topMargin - lp.bottomMargin;
                } else {
                    verticalSize = ((View) view.getParent()).getMeasuredHeight();
                }
                break;
            case ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT:
                verticalMode = View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED;
                verticalSize = 0;
                break;
            default:
                verticalMode = View.MeasureSpec.EXACTLY;
                verticalSize = layoutParams.height;
                break;
        }
        final int verticalMeasureSpec = View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(verticalSize, verticalMode);

        view.measure(horizontalMeasureSpec, verticalMeasureSpec);
    }

}

Then you can simply call:

ViewUtil.measure(view);
int height = view.getMeasuredHeight();
int width = view.getMeasuredWidth();

Alternatively, as @Amit Yadav suggested, you can use OnGlobalLayoutListener to have a listener called after the layout pass has been performed. The following is a method that handles unregistering the listener and method naming changes across versions:

public class ViewUtil {

    public static void captureGlobalLayout(@NonNull final View view,
                                           @NonNull final ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener listener) {
        view.getViewTreeObserver()
                .addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onGlobalLayout() {
                        final ViewTreeObserver viewTreeObserver = view.getViewTreeObserver();
                        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN) {
                            viewTreeObserver.removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(this);
                        } else {
                            //noinspection deprecation
                            viewTreeObserver.removeGlobalOnLayoutListener(this);
                        }
                        listener.onGlobalLayout();
                    }
                });
    }

}

Then you can:

ViewUtil.captureGlobalLayout(rootView, new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
    @Override
    public void onGlobalLayout() {
        int width = view.getMeasureWidth();
        int height = view.getMeasuredHeight();
    }
});

Where rootView can be the root view of your view hierarchy and view can be any view within your hierarchy that you want to know the dimensions of.
