In a ViewGroup I want to put two ImageViews overlapping: The imageview A have a transparent background and some drawing across the image, the imageview B.

I want both them to be at the same place and have the same size (but can’t fix their size in the XML because if the image at ivB changes the ivA should resize to match the new size.

Since the ivA source image does not change I tried ivA.getWidth() and ivA.getHeight() for setting the ivB size but their value are 0,0 in the onCreate() method.

Is there some “easy” way of doing this?

    Override the ImageView and in onLayout() you can get proper width or height after calling super.onLayout(). Try setting values in the place.
