Answer 1

By fixing the width according to the width of screen.

 DisplayMetrics d = new DisplayMetrics(); 
 getWindow().getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(d); 
 int wdt = d.widthPixels;
 ddlpostas.getLayoutParams().width = wdt - 120;
 ddlexpiryon.getLayoutParams().width = wdt - 120;
