Android: get the actual size of a match_parent/wrap_content view

android_get_view_size.java

view.post(new Runnable() {

    @Override
    public void run() {
        int width = view.getWidth();
        int height = view.getHeight();
        //do something cool with width and height
    }
	
});


//the runnable is executed only after the view is completely laid out
//less problematic than using ViewTreeObserver.addOnGlobalLayoutListener
