How to get x,y coordinates

Question

One of the activities in my Android app has a relative layout with two imageviews, which are set up in an xml layout file. How can I programmatically get x,y location of the imageviews

Will these coordinates be different dependent on screen size and density?

What I want to do is have the user touch image1 which will then be animated to move to the location of image2.

Obviously, since I placed these images in the xml I know their x,y coordinates, but I'm concerned that these coordinates will vary dependent on the screen size and density.

Answer 1

You can use View.getTop(), View.getBottom(), View.getLeft(), and View.getRight() . These will return the location of the top, bottom, left and right edge of the View relative to the parent.

Answer 2

How to get x and y

int[] t = new int[2];
int[] cordinatesofImageView1 = imageView1.getLocationOnScreen(t);


int[] cordinatesofImageView2 = imageView2.getLocationOnScreen(t);

You have to adjust your control wrt of screen size and Here is the link that how can you detect that.
