I am doing more research to see if this indeed is the case. But here are the symptoms
<LinearLayout....height="wrap_conent"> <textview....height="wrap_content"> <some-custom-circle-view....height="wrap_content"> <textview ..height="wrap_content"> </LinearLayout> In the custom circleview constructor I set the minimum height and width. I was hoping these minimum sizes will be used if the height of my custom view is "wrap_content". But looks like linear layout never sends out the "unspeicified" but only does the 'at_most' making the getDefaultSIze return the entire space after the first text view. In fact the last textview is beyond the screen below. Do I have to write onMeasure() in the custom view and deal with "wrap_content" separately? why is LinearLayout not measuring the desired size?
