ViewGroup.LayoutParams lp = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT
        ,LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT);
myHScrollView.setLayoutParams(lp);

You can set the width and height using the layout parameters object.

To set exact number as width you need to use the TypedValue class

int value = (int) TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_PX, 
                 (float) 200, getResources().getDisplayMetrics());

And the int should be set in the LayoutParams constructor.
