Hi,

There are getMeasureWidth() and  getMeasureHeight() function which will return the the width and height of the most recent call to measure() .

You can set the layout position using layout() function

I guess that you are trying to customize your View ? Section How Android draws View in the Dev guide may help in that case.

Cheers,
Daniel.

I have never done those things before. Basically you cannot run two applications in 1 screen. So my best guess is that you have to use nested layout.

For nested layout, you need to have a child layout as a placeholder inside your normal layout, so it will look like:

<RelativeLayout>
       <LinearLayout/> or any customized layout here
</RelativeLayout>

and you need to have another .xml file declaring the layout you want to added into the original.

After that, you can use View.inflate() to attach the it into the original one.

Hence, the resizing function will be the layout resize function.

Most application consists of activities. Activities fills the screen. You probably mean having 2 views

Hi Daniel,

can u please tell me where i will get the default layout coordinate
for one application?
Let me clear my doubt once again!

consider there are two separate application(dialer & calc).
At the time of launching calculator application I want to resize the
application size
so that it launches in half of the android screen. And again at the
time of launching dialer application I want to resize the application
size so that it fits into the other half of the android screen.

Is this really possible?
What I am thinking is if I can change the application layout size,then
it will be possible.
please put some idea into this.

Hi souvik,

You cannot have 2 applications in one screen. Do you mean 2 different
views in one activity?
