Answer 1

Simple Response: This worked for me with no Problem. It seems the key is to ensure that the View has focus before you getHeight etc. Do this by using the hasFocus() method, then using getHeight() method in that order. Just 3 lines of code required.

ImageButton myImageButton1 =(ImageButton)findViewById(R.id.imageButton1); myImageButton1.hasFocus();

int myButtonHeight = myImageButton1.getHeight();

Log.d("Button Height: ", ""+myButtonHeight );//Not required

Hope it helps.
