Android get width of ListView in Adapter's GetView Method

How can I get the Width of a ListView in Adapter's GetView method ?

ParentLayout of the View inflated is a RelativeLayout with width as match_parent

Following is what I have tried

Display display = ((Activity)getContext()).getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
Point size = new Point();
display.getSize(size);
maxWidth = size.x;        
int specWidth = View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(maxWidth , View.MeasureSpec.AT_MOST);
convertView.findViewById(R.id.TagMasterLayout).measure(specWidth , specWidth);
int totalWidth = convertView.findViewById(R.id.TagMasterLayout).getMeasuredWidth();

In this example, I always get the Width of the screen of the device. As I have set the MeasureSpec to accept a maximum value of Width of the device's screen.

Instead if I do,

int specWidth = View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);

And rest all portion as same, I get a huge value greater than 1000 (which is greater than device screen width, because variable maxWidth had a value of only 720).

So How can I exactly measure the width of a ListView with Width as fill_parent in getView method of Adapter class ?

Try to get width of parent view. It is a view to which your view will be attached to.

@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, final ViewGroup parent)
{
    ...

    parent.getWidth();

    ...
    return v;
}

parent.getWidth() will return you the width of ListView.
