How to find the exact (x,y) position of a view if there is a notification bar in screen (and it could be on top of screen or below)?

Question

I am using the view.getLocationInWindow(positionVariable) method, but the y position is giving some offset value, maybe because of the notification bar on the top. So I used an offset variable.

But the problem is, when I tested on another device, the notification bar was on the bottom. So my view translation didn't work well.

How to get the exact x,y position of a view independent of where the notification bar is?

Use view methods getTop() and getLeft().
