It returns null because in the constructor the view doesn't have a parent yet. It gets the parent when you actually add the view to another view by doing addView(yourView); short example:

LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout(context);
YourView yourView = new YourView(context); // yourView constructor gets called
layout.addView(yourView); // parent gets set to layout
