android - Fragment - removeGlobalOnLayoutListener IllegalStateException

Question

I'm trying to get the height and width of an ImageView in a Fragment with the following ViewTreeObserver:

import android.view.ViewTreeObserver;
import android.view.ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener;

private ImageView imageViewPicture;

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_general_activity_add_recipe, container, false);
    setHasOptionsMenu(true);

    ...

    final ViewTreeObserver observer = imageViewPicture.getViewTreeObserver();
    observer.addOnGlobalLayoutListener (new OnGlobalLayoutListener () {
        @Override public void onGlobalLayout() {
            observer.removeGlobalOnLayoutListener(this);
        }
    });

    return view;
}

Running this code results in the following Exception:

The documentations says that removeGlobalOnLayoutListener is deprecated but if I use removeOnGlobalLayoutListener, as suggested, I get an undefined error.

What I am doing wrong?

try this :

   ViewTreeObserver observer = imageViewPicture.getViewTreeObserver();
   observer.addOnGlobalLayoutListener (new OnGlobalLayoutListener () {
    @Override
     public void onGlobalLayout() {

       imageViewPicture.getViewTreeObserver().removeGlobalOnLayoutListener(this);
      }
    });
