Use view without adding to view

Question

I need to capture a view as image, but the view is not located in my activity's XML file, it's located in layout_report.xml file.

I can capture a view that is located in activity xml with the method I wrote (method signature: public Bitmap saveViewAsImage(View view, float pageWidth, float pageHeight).

I tried to inflate view when the activity is created with below code:

LayoutInflater li = LayoutInflater.from(this);
View layout = li.inflate(R.layout.layout_report, null, false);
saveViewAsImage(viewReport, 2600, 2800);

However, since view height and width was 0, I received an error. I have also tried to use fragment and inflate XML, but since I didn't call fragment beginTransaction, view was null.

How can I prepare a view that has width and height?
