Android - Programmatically specify height and width of new ScrollView

Question

I\'m new to Android and I\'m working through a tutorial on programmatically creating a layout instead of doing it through the xml, I\'m sorta stuck can someone advise please.

Answer 1

Try setting it up like this:

home_scroll.setLayoutParams(new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(480, 800));
home_scroll.addView(home_linear, new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT));

The linearlayout should now fill the scrollview.

Answer 2

Did you try doing something like

home_scroll.setLayoutParams(..,..);

you can find these here

setLayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams params) 
Set the layout parameters associated with this view.

Answer 3

Simple way you can give dinamic width and height:-

 LayoutParams layout = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
                    LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
            layout.setMargins(screenWidth / 5, screenHeight - cardHeight - 30, 0, 0);
            tvConftxt.setLayoutParams(layout);
