Android view layout_width - how to change programmatically?

Question

This is my view, and I wish to change layout_width to \"10dip\". How do I do so programmatically? Note, this is not a LinearLayout, it\'s a View.

Answer 1

You can set height and width like this also:

viewinstance.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(width, height));

Answer 2

Or simply:

view.getLayoutParams().width = 400;
view.requestLayout();

Answer 3

try using

View view_instance = (View)findViewById(R.id.nutrition_bar_filled);
view_instance.setWidth(10);

use Layoutparams to do so where you can set width and height like below.

LayoutParams lp = new LayoutParams(10,LayoutParams.wrap_content);
View_instance.setLayoutParams(lp);

Answer 4

I believe your question is to change only width of view dynamically, whereas above methods will change layout properties completely to new one, so I suggest to getLayoutParams() from view first, then set width on layoutParams, and finally set layoutParams to the view, so following below steps to do the same.

View view = findViewById(R.id.nutrition_bar_filled);
LayoutParams layoutParams = view.getLayoutParams();
layoutParams.width = newWidth;
view.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
