Question

my current android project requires the width of button should be set dynamically depending on the resolution available on device

i want to arrange 9 button in a row but the size will depend on the resolution available

for the current scene we are using below code

    DisplayMetrics displaymetrics = new DisplayMetrics();
    getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(displaymetrics);
    //int sheight = displaymetrics.heightPixels;
    int swidth = displaymetrics.widthPixels;
    int px=swidth/11;
    bW.setWidth(px);
    bE.setWidth(px);
    bR.setWidth(px);
    bT.setWidth(px);
    bY.setWidth(px);
    bU.setWidth(px);
    bI.setWidth(px);
    bO.setWidth(px);
    bP.setWidth(px);

somehow the width of button is not changed in any manner it remains the same

Answer 1

i came up with this solution

    ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = button.getLayoutParams();
    params.width=px;
    button.setLayoutParams(params);
