I will reiterate my earlier point that I suspect what you are trying to
do here is not the right solution to your overall problem.

That being said, use getDimension() on the TypedArray that I provided in
my prior post. Your solution assumes you will always use pixels; I
sincerely hope you will consider other units of measure in the future
(e.g., dip). Also, your solution ignores any styles that may have been
applied to your widget -- obtainStyledAttributes() addresses this.
