Question

I have been going through tutorials, and have been trying to understand some things, but I am a little confused about this statement:

imageView.setLayoutParams(new GridView.LayoutParams(85, 85));

The Doc says width and height (meaning the two 85’s), or how its displayed on the screen. But is that the same as doing this in a grid view in an xml file?

<GridView
    android:layout_height="85"
...

Doesn’t seem right to me, which is why I ask. Any help is much appreciated.

According to the docs:

Parameters
width  the width, either MATCH_PARENT, WRAP_CONTENT or a fixed size in pixels 
height  the height, either MATCH_PARENT, WRAP_CONTENT or a fixed size in pixels 
weight  the weight  

So, in pixels.

In the XML you can specify the units.
