I resolved the problem. For anyone else who might run into this issue, the answer is that your in your custom ViewGroup, you need to ensure that the measureChildren method is called within your onMeasure routine. In addition, all of the child windows need to have a valid ViewGroup.LayoutParams set which specify the correct with and height of the control. Without this, the TextView (and possibly other controls) will not handle the alignment options correctly.
