Custom Square LinearLayout. How?

Question

I create my own class for the square layout:

public class SquareLayout extends LinearLayout{

    public SquareLayout(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public SquareLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
    }

    public SquareLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }


    @Override public void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
        int width = MeasureSpec.getSize(widthMeasureSpec);
        int height = MeasureSpec.getSize(heightMeasureSpec);
        int size = width > height ? height : width;
        setMeasuredDimension(size, size);
    }

Then, in my xml:

...
        <com.myApp.SquareLayout
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent"
            android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
            android:orientation="horizontal" >

            <ImageView
                android:id="@+id/cellImageView"
                android:adjustViewBounds="true"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_marginTop="2dp"
                android:padding="2dp"
                android:scaleType="centerCrop"
                android:src="@drawable/image" />
        </com.myApp.SquareLayout>
...

Nothing written more in my java code. But instead if my layout and my Image, I see only a white rectangle...

What am I wrong?

// you forget to call super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, widthMeasureSpec);

@Override
public void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {

    super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, widthMeasureSpec);
    int width = MeasureSpec.getSize(widthMeasureSpec);
    int height = MeasureSpec.getSize(heightMeasureSpec);
    int size = width > height ? height : width;
    setMeasuredDimension(size, size);

}

// xml file

<com.example.testapplication.SquareLayout
    android:id="@+id/layout"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:orientation="horizontal" >

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/cellImageView"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="2dp"
        android:adjustViewBounds="true"
        android:padding="2dp"
        android:scaleType="centerCrop"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher" />

  </com.example.testapplication.SquareLayout>
