Use method View.getLocationOnScreen(int[] location) like so,

int locations[] = new int[2];

view.getLocationOnScreen(locations);

locations[0] will have x-coordinate and location[1] y-coordinate.

Use View.getLocationOnScreen() and/or getLocationInWindow().

You can only invoke it AFTER layout has happened. You are calling the method before the views are positioned on screen
