Did you overwrite onLayout
? When Android lays out your ViewGroup
, your ViewGroup
is responsible for laying out the children.
This code is from a custom ViewGroup that lays out all children on top of each other:
@Override
protected void onLayout(final boolean changed, final int l, final int t, final int r, final int b) {
int count = this.getChildCount();
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
View child = this.getChildAt(i);
child.layout(0, 0, child.getMeasuredWidth(), child.getMeasuredHeight());
}
}
For completeness, the onMeasure
override:
@Override
protected void onMeasure(final int widthMeasureSpec, final int heightMeasureSpec) {
int parentWidth = MeasureSpec.getSize(widthMeasureSpec);
int parentHeight = MeasureSpec.getSize(heightMeasureSpec);
this.setMeasuredDimension(parentWidth, parentHeight);
int count = this.getChildCount();
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
View child = this.getChildAt(i);
this.measureChild(
child,
MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(parentWidth, MeasureSpec.EXACTLY),
MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(parentHeight, MeasureSpec.EXACTLY));
}
}
