Incorrect Coordinates From getLocationOnScreen/getLocationInWindow
I ended up solving this issue by determining the height of the status/notification bar like so:
View globalView = ...; // the main view of my activity/application
DisplayMetrics dm = new DisplayMetrics();
this.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(dm);
int topOffset = dm.heightPixels - globalView.getMeasuredHeight();
View tempView = ...; // the view you'd like to locate
int[] loc = new int[2];
tempView.getLocationOnScreen(loc);
final int y = loc[1] - topOffset;
Here is how I like to get the status bar height, and adjust the offset:
final int[] location = new int[2];
anchor.getLocationInWindow(location); // Includes offset from status bar, *dumb*
Rect anchorRect = new Rect(location[0], location[1],
location[0] + anchor.getWidth(), location[1] + anchor.getHeight());
anchor.getRootView().findViewById(android.R.id.content).getLocationInWindow(location);
int windowTopOffset = location[1];
anchorRect.offset(0, -windowTopOffset);
I am having the same problem, try using
offset = myView.GetOffsetY();
and adjust your Y coord by that value, e.g.
coordY -= offset;
The class which offers the ``-method:
class MyView extends View {
public int GetOffsetY() {
int mOffset[] = new int[2];
getLocationOnScreen( mOffset );
return mOffset[1];
}
}
