Updating layoutParams not working

Question

I'm trying to calculate the dimension for this image, which will be downloaded from the web using this lineimgLoader.DisplayImage(url, R.drawable.thumbnail_background, image);. The problem is that orgHeight becomes zero and you can't divide by zero. But why is this orgHeight 0?

// Add the imageview and calculate its dimensions
        //assuming your layout is in a LinearLayout as its root
        LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.layout);

        ImageView image = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.photo);

        ImageLoader imgLoader = new ImageLoader(getApplicationContext());
        imgLoader.DisplayImage(url, R.drawable.thumbnail_background, image);

        int newHeight = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getHeight() / 2;
        int orgWidth = image.getWidth();
        int orgHeight = image.getHeight();

        //double check my math, this should be right, though
        int newWidth = (int) Math.floor((orgWidth * newHeight) / orgHeight);

        //Use RelativeLayout.LayoutParams if your parent is a RelativeLayout
        LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
            newWidth, newHeight);
        image.setLayoutParams(params);
        image.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.CENTER_CROP);
        layout.updateViewLayout(image, params);     

My imageView xml is like this:

<ImageView
            android:id="@+id/photo"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"
        />

The views aren't yet laid in the onCreate() method so their dimensions are 0. Post a Runnable from onCreate() to get the proper values:

image.post(new Runnable() {

 @Override
 public void run() {
    int newHeight = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getHeight() / 2;
    int orgWidth = image.getWidth();
    int orgHeight = image.getHeight();

    //double check my math, this should be right, though
    int newWidth = (int) Math.floor((orgWidth * newHeight) / orgHeight);

    //Use RelativeLayout.LayoutParams if your parent is a RelativeLayout
    LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
        newWidth, newHeight);
    image.setLayoutParams(params);
    image.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.CENTER_CROP);
    layout.updateViewLayout(image, params);      
 } 

});
