get actionbar height in android

I want to get actionbar height in my oncreate method, not after views created like this
first way 

 content.getViewTreeObserver().addOnPreDrawListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnPreDrawListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onPreDraw() {
            Log.d(tag + " onCreate", "getSupportActionBar().getHeight()=" + getSupportActionBar().getHeight());
            return true;
        }
    });

for that, I use this code
second way 

final TypedArray styledAttributes = getTheme().obtainStyledAttributes(
            new int[] { android.R.attr.actionBarSize });
    int mActionBarSize = (int) styledAttributes.getDimension(0, 0);
    styledAttributes.recycle();

but my problem is when I use first way I get actionbar height 56, and when i use secound way i get actionbar height 48.
and i think first way is correct answer but i dont want to wait until views created.
can anyone help me about this?

You can have two different height between these two methods because they are returning the value of two different things. The first method returns the actual ActionBar height. The second method returns the value of the android attribute actionBarSize.

The correct method to have the real ActionBar height is the first but if you say that you don't want to wait the creation of the views, if you are using Toolbar you can set via xml his height to ?android:attr/actionBarSize and use the second method wherever you want to get the height in pixels.
