Question

I am trying to add a text to the textview for which i have set the width as Wrap_content. I am trying to get the width of this textview. But its showing 0 in all the cases.

You can not get the width of a View with dynamic size before the layout is completely built. That means there is no way you can get it in onCreate(). One way would be to create a class that inherits from TextView and overrides onSizeChanged().
