ImageView image not appearing in ViewGroup

I have an ImageView as a child of a ViewGroup that is part of a GridView. The drawable of the ImageView does not appear, however I can see the background color, and if I use the drawable in setBackgroundDrawable instead, it is displayed. I've tried changing every property and calling invalidate() but none have made the drawable appear.

The Log.i prints

 android.graphics.drawable.BitmapDrawable@407bd4c0

setImageResource(int) doesn't work either.

I'm using Honeycomb.

public MyViewGroup(Context context) {
    super(context);

    myImageView = new ImageView(context);
    myImageView.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);
    myImageView.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.CENTER);
    Dra开发者_运维百科wable drawable = this.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.myimage);
    myImageView.setImageDrawable(drawable);
    Log.i("",drawable+"");
    //myImageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.myimage);
    addView(myImageView);
}

I omitted the onLayout code where I call setLeft() setTop() setRight() and setBottom().

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Update: Also doesn't work with android.R.drawable images. I'm stumped.

Maybe the problem is, that you don't set the layout parameters. Try:

LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, WRAP_CONTENT);
myImageView .setLayoutParams(params);

Try setting getting the image as bitmap, then setting it as drawable.

Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(), R.drawable.myimage)
Drawable drawable = new BitmapDrawable(bmp);"
 myImageView.setImageDrawable(drawable);

Just out of curiosity: Why you do all of this in your constructor?

If the parent layout has width/height of fill_parent, changing it to wrap_content might do the trick.

I was having this problem in Honeycomb using an ImageView with a drawable in a layout - the image was there judging from the width of the dialog I had it appearing in, but I couldn't see the image itself. The ImageView's parent was a LinearLayout with fill_parent. Switching to wrap_content fixed it right up.
