Getting 0 Value for both X and Y Coordinate of view(Imagebutton) in android

Question

I want to get X and Y Point of View(ImageButton).

When I try to find X and Y on Click event with below code I get proper X and Y coordinate for View.

Answer 1

the reason the returned value is zero is because the ImageButton is not yet created if you call this method in 'onCreate()'. You can use the ViewTreeObserver to get the position:

ViewTreeObserver vto = imagebutton.getViewTreeObserver(); 
vto.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new OnGlobalLayoutListener() { 
    @Override 
    public void onGlobalLayout() { 
        this.imagebutton.getViewTreeObserver().removeGlobalOnLayoutListener(this); 

        int[] posXY = new int[2];

        imagebutton.getLocationOnScreen(posXY);
        x = posXY[0];
        y = posXY[1];

        Log.d("X and Y Point", x + " " + y);  

    } 
});

Happy coding
