In this video I go over making a custom view where we can get the size of the view before it starts fully running. This is helpful when you want to do screen calculations beforehand. In my case I had a simple game's display code in the view that needed screen tile calculations before everything started. We use ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener to make it happen.
