Inflated children of custom LinearLayout don't show when overriding onMeasure

Question

I\'m trying to show a MyCustomLinearLayout which extends LinearLayout. I\'m inflating the MyCustomLinearLayout with the android:layo

Answer 1

That's not how you override the onMeasure method especially of a default SDK layout. Right now with your code you just made the MyCustomLinearLayout square assigning it a certain value. But, you didn't measured its children so they are sizeless and don't appear on the screen.

I'm not sure this would work but try this:

@Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
    super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
    int size = getMeasuredHeight();
    super.onMeasure(MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(size, MeasureSpec.EXACTLY), MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(size, MeasureSpec.EXACTLY));
}

Of course this will basically do the work of onMeasure twice but the ImageView should be now visible filling it's parent. There are other solutions but your question is a bit scarce on details.
