Hi i am using following layout structure inside LinearLayout
give an id to your relative layout in .xml :
android:id="@+id/relativelayout"
now in your java file write this:
RelativeLayout Rl = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.relativelayout);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams layout_description = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT or YourUserDefinedwidth,
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT or YourUserDefinedHeight);
Rl.setLayoutParams(layout_description);
