Your view has not rendered yet. You have to wait it!

Use post method.

yourView.post(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            int height = yourView.getHeight();
            int width = yourView.getWidth();
        }
    });

height and width value will be in pixel format

If you get this exception:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare()

put your .post() code in a runOnUiThread method.
