How to get LinearLayout's X and Y coordinates?

Question

Say I have created a linearlayout ( linLayBtn ) and added it to an already existing in the xml linearlayout ( linLayRow )...

linLayRow.addView(linLayBtn, linLayBtnPar);

And now I need to know the X and Y coordinates of the linLayBtn layout that I just added.

How would you do that?

Answer 1

currentsdk < sdk 11

getLeft(), getTop()

currentsdk >= sdk 11

getX(), getY()

Answer 2

x = linLayBtn.getX();
y = linLayBtn.getY();

Just remember that calling this in the constructor gives back 0 because views have to be measured and laid out first.

Answer 3

x=linLayBtn.getLeft();
y=linLayBtn.getTop();
