Hi Ben,
Sorry for not responding earlier, I don't read this group every day.
It sounds like you are working on an app that runs on the phone. If so, you
can use code like this to get the absolute screen position of your view:
EditText nearBottom = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.EditTextNearBottom);
try {
int screenLocation[] = new int[2];
nearBottom.getLocationOnScreen(screenLocation);
// screenLocation[0] = left, screenLocation[1] = top
...
} catch (Exception ex) {
...
}
Hope that helps.
-Sam
