It depends on when you ask. Components have a multi-stage validation mechanism. Their properties get set in stage1, measured in stage2, layed out in stage 3. Until measurement, they are zero width/height

I created a custom component that works great when the width is specified. However, when I try to set the width to a percent (of the parent) it returns 0. How to I reference the parent's width? I tried getExplicitOrMeasuredWidth but it didn't work. Thanks in advance for the help.
