Incorrect Coordinates From getLocationOnScreen/getLocationInWindow

Question

A call to getLocationOnScreen() or getLocationInWindow() both give me a top/Y coordinate that is about ~30px (status/notifications bar

Answer 1

I am having the same problem, try using

offset = myView.GetOffsetY();

and adjust your Y coord by that value, e.g.

coordY -= offset;

The class which offers the ``-method:

class MyView extends View {

  public int GetOffsetY() {
    int mOffset[] = new int[2];
    getLocationOnScreen( mOffset );
    return mOffset[1]; 
  }

}
