Question

How to change the width of a Button programmatically. I am able to change the height but the width does not change. Following is my code snippet

private void createButton(final String label)
{

    Button button = new Button(this);
    button.setText(label);


    button.setWidth(10);
    button.setHeight(100);

    button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() 
    {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) 
        {


        }
    });
    mMenuContainer.addView(button, mMenuItemLayoutParamters);


}

But the width of the Button occupies the width of the screen.

Answer 1

button.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(10, 100));

you should apply LayoutParams of the ViewGroup that contains your View. That is, if your button is inside RelativeLayout, you should use RelativeLayout.LayoutParams
