Solution #1: To do it dynamically, you need a tag. A tag is basically a way for views to have memories. So save the convertView in another class (MyTag). So inside your java file:

private LayoutInflater layoutInflater;

@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
    MyTag holder = null;
    View row = convertView;
    if (row == null) {
      //Inflate the view however u can  
String strInflater = Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE;
        layoutInflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(strInflater);
        LayoutInflater inflater = ((Activity) context).getLayoutInflater();
        row = inflater.inflate(layoutResID, parent, false);
               holder = new MyTag();

            holder.itemName = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.example_itemname);
            holder.icon = (ImageView) row.findViewById(R.id.example_image);
            holder.button1 = (Button) row.findViewById(R.id.swipe_button1);
            holder.button2 = (Button) row.findViewById(R.id.swipe_button2);
            holder.button3 = (Button) row.findViewById(R.id.swipe_button3);
            row.setTag(holder);
        } else {
            holder = (MyTag) row.getTag();
        }

        holder.itemName.setText(itemdata.getItemName());
        System.out.println("holder.button3.getMeasuredWidth()= "+ holder.button3.getMeasuredWidth());
        System.out.println("holder.button3.getWidth()= "+ holder.button3.getWidth());

return row;
} //End of getView()


static class MyTag {  //It also works if not static

        TextView itemName;
        ImageView icon;
        Button button1;
        Button button2;
        Button button3;
    }

Solution #2: Hard-code it. Pre-set the width. Inside your res/values/dimens.xml file, include

50dp

Then inside your res/layout/your_layout.xml file, include

Then inside your java file:

int buttonSize= (int) (context.getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.your_button_width));
