Element not displaying in Xamarin Forms Android custom renderer

Question

Using Xamarin Forms custom renderers, I need to superimpose a crosshairs image on a live camera view (video). I got the iOS renderer working, it is for a BoxView. Android however is fairly new to me. So in the Android BoxView renderer I'm starting with something simple, just trying to display an ImageView or an EditText control for starters.

Struggling with that despite a great deal of googling.

Here's my code. It executes, but no control (image) appears onscreen.

SHARED CODE:

using Xamarin.Forms;

namespace MyApp.Views
{
    public class CameraBoxView : BoxView
    // Uses custom renderer CameraBoxViewRenderer.cs
    {}
}

ANDROID RENDERER:

using System;

using Xamarin.Forms;
using Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Android;

using MyApp.Views;
using MyApp.Droid.Camera;

using Android.Content;
using Android.Widget;
using Android.Views;


[assembly:ExportRenderer (typeof(CameraBoxView), typeof(CameraBoxViewRenderer))]

namespace MyApp.Droid.Camera
{
    public class CameraBoxViewRenderer : BoxRenderer
    {
        private Context context;
        private ImageView imageView;
        private EditText editText;

        public CameraBoxViewRenderer ( Context context ) : base ( context )
        {
            this.context = context;
        }

        protected override void OnElementChanged ( ElementChangedEventArgs<BoxView> e )
        {
            base.OnElementChanged ( e );

            if ( e.OldElement != null || Element == null)
                return;

            CameraBoxView box = Element as CameraBoxView;

            imageView = new ImageView ( context );
            imageView.ContentDescription = "my image";
            imageView.SetImageResource ( Resource.Drawable.myimage );
            imageView.LayoutParameters = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams ( ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MatchParent,ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MatchParent );
            imageView.SetScaleType ( ImageView.ScaleType.FitCenter );
            imageView.Visibility = ViewStates.Visible;
            this.AddView ( imageView );

            //editText = new EditText ( context );
            //editText.ContentDescription = "edit_text";
            //editText.LayoutParameters = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams ( ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MatchParent,ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MatchParent );
            //editText.Visibility = ViewStates.Visible;
            //editText.Hint = "Hello world!";
            //this.AddView ( editText );
        }
    }
}

Adding the following code solved the problem. Kudos to Adam Kemp.

        protected override void OnLayout ( bool changed, int l, int t, int r, int b )
        {
            base.OnLayout ( changed, l, t, r, b );

            GetChildAt ( 0 ).Layout ( 0, 0, r-l, b-t );
        }

        protected override void OnMeasure ( int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec )
        {
            base.OnMeasure ( widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec );

            GetChildAt (0).Measure ( widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec );
        }
