Ironically enough I stumbled on a problem when I answered another question
The problem is that if I add a RelativeLayout as a child of my ICGridLayout the children of that RelativeLayout does not get the RelativeLayout.LayoutParams. This goes for all kinds of layouts that I add to my ICGridLayout. I've read through the source code for both LinearLayout, RelativeLayout, AbsoluteLayout and ViewGroup but have not found anything that gives me a hint of where I do something wrong. I also watched the Romain Guy's guide to created a FlowLayout in the hopes of getting an answer, alas that did not happen.
EDIT
Added my layout.xml file. It seems as if the children respond to above, below, toLeftOf, toRightOf and margins but not other relative layout rules.
As you can see I use simple XML layout.
Even if they children respond to the above rules, the eclipse (and android studio) auto complete does not recognise the xml attributes.
END EDIT
My attrs.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<declare-styleable name="ICGridLayout_Layout">
<attr name="columns" format="integer"/>
<attr name="layout_left" format="integer"/>
<attr name="layout_top" format="integer"/>
<attr name="layout_right" format="integer"/>
<attr name="layout_bottom" format="integer"/>
<attr name="layout_col_span" format="integer"/>
<attr name="layout_row_span" format="integer"/>
<attr name="layout_spacing" format="dimension"/>
</declare-styleable>
</resources>
And my ICGridLayout.java file:

I've spent at least 5 hours browsing SO and google in order to find an answer and that's why I'm writing my own question.
Thanks in advance. --Johan Risch
