Answer 1

CardView extends FrameLayout so you should be able to set LayoutParams. Try something like this :

 CardView.LayoutParams layoutParams = (CardView.LayoutParams)
            catCard.getLayoutParams();
    layoutParams.height = 10;

, dont forget that setting Width is also required. Or create new LayoutParams like this (not tested) :

CardView catCard = new CardView(getApplicationContext());
// sets width to wrap content and height to 10 dp ->
catCard.setLayoutParams(new CardView.LayoutParams(
     CardView.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, 10));

catCard.setMinimumHeight(10);

My Solution with margin and it worked perfectly with me
val resources = context.resources // get resources from context val width: Int = resources.displayMetrics.widthPixels / 3 //get width val px = TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, 2f, resources.displayMetrics).toInt() //set margin val layoutParams = ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams(width, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT) layoutParams.marginStart = px layoutParams.marginEnd = px cardView.layoutParams = layoutParams

Answer 3

myCardView.setLayoutParams(new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(20, 20));

it depends that your cardview is a child of which layout, in this case it is under Relative Layout
