Weird updateViewLayout behaviour

Question

I have a view (custom drawn) added with getWindowManager().addView() and later I'm modifiying the LayoutParameters of it (changing x & width) and call getWindowManager().updateViewLayout(). This works but I am getting two screen refreshes, first one only moves the whole thing according to the new x and later one scales it according to the new width. Any ideas about why is this happening even though I only call updateViewLayout just one time with the new layout parameters?

FYI: onDraw method of the custom drawn view mentioned here is also called only one time by the system during this process.

Try:

runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
      public void run() {
          view.updateViewLayout();
       }
    });
