Onlayout method on custom layout extending RelativeLayout

Question

What is the proper way to override onLayout method in a custom layout extending the RelativeLayout? I'm trying to place all views in sort of a table. The idea is to fill one row with ImageViews until it's full and then continue in the new row.

@Override
protected void onLayout(boolean changed, int l, int t, int r, int b) {
        super.onLayout(changed, l, t, r, b);

        int idOfViewToTheLeft = 1;

        RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(getContext(),);

        ImageView bookmark;
        for(int counter = 1; counter < getChildCount(); counter++) {
            bookmark = (ImageView) findViewById(counter);
            if(counter > 1) {
               if(this.getWidth() > (bookmark.getLeft() + bookmark.getWidth())) {
                   params.addRule(RelativeLayout.RIGHT_OF, bookmark.getId() - 1);
               } else {
                   params.addRule(RelativeLayout.BELOW, idOfViewToTheLeft);
                   idOfViewToTheLeft = bookmark.getId();
               }
            }

            bookmark.setScaleType(ScaleType.CENTER_CROP);
        }
    }
    }

Solution

I explain how to write custom layouts (and in particular a FlowLayout, which is what you want to do it seems like) in this presentation

I have another problem and it seems it's related to the relative layout. First fow of ImageViews is fine except of last one which gets cut off, those after that should be in next row don't appear there. I used lp.addRule(RelativeLayout.BELOW, idOfViewToTheLeft); but it doesn't seem to work. Am I doing something wrong, is it enough only to override onLayout method? @Romain Guy
