Question

here is the code that i am using to generate my view object:

        // creates the seekBar
        sBGauge = new SeekBar(this);
        sBGauge.setMax(depthL - 1);
        sBGauge.setMinimumWidth(150);
        sBGauge.setId(2000 + i);
        sBGauge.setOnSeekBarChangeListener(this);

reguardless of what i set the sBGauge.setMinimumWidth(); to it always appears to only be about 20 wide.

any thoughts?
thanks

Edit: to give some more info I am using this seekbar in between two textViews in a tablerow.

@Amit Hooda your solution did not solve my problem but it did lead me down the right path to finding a solution.

What I had to do to fix this issue was to change from a dynamically created a TableRow to a LinearLayout within my TableLayout. I was then able to get my screen width and subtract out my textviews and then set my width of the seekbar with the resulting number.

// gets the width of the screen to set the seekbar width
    Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay(); 
    int width = display.getWidth();
width = width - 170;

LinearLayout lL = new LinearLayout(this);
// creates the seekBar
        sBGauge = new SeekBar(this);
        sBGauge.setMax(depthL - 1);
        sBGauge.setId(2000 + i);
        sBGauge.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(width, 50, 1f));
        sBGauge.setOnSeekBarChangeListener(this);
