Int32[]

A two-element integer array in which the view coordinates are stored. The x-coordinate is at index 0; the y-coordinate, at index 1.

Attributes

Remarks

Gets the coordinates of this view in the coordinate space of the device screen, irrespective of system decorations and whether the system is in multi-window mode.

In multi-window mode, the coordinate space encompasses the entire device screen, ignoring the bounds of the app window. For example, if the view is in the bottom portion of a horizontal split screen, the top edge of the screen&mdash;not the top edge of the window&mdash;is the origin from which the y-coordinate is calculated.

In multiple-screen scenarios, the coordinate space can span screens. For example, if the app is spanning both screens of a dual-screen device and the view is located on the right-hand screen, the x-coordinate is calculated from the left edge of the left-hand screen to the left edge of the view. When the app is restricted to a single screen in a multiple-screen environment, the coordinate space includes only the screen on which the app is running.

After the method returns, the argument array contains the x and y coordinates of the view relative to the view's left and top edges, respectively.
