int dp1 = (int) TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, 1,
            context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics());

tv.setLayoutParams(new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
dp1 * 100)); // if you want to set layout height to 100dp

Just replace from bottom and add this

tv.setLayoutParams(new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(
    ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
    ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));

llview.addView(tv);

Answer 4

after creating the view we have to add layout parameters .

change like this

TextView tv = new TextView(this);
tv.setLayoutParams(new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(
        ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
        ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));

llview.addView(tv);
tv.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
tv.setTextSize(2,25);
tv.setText(chat);
if (mine) {
    leftMargin = 5;
    tv.setBackgroundColor(0x7C5B77);
}
else {
    leftMargin = 50;
    tv.setBackgroundColor(0x778F6E);
}
final ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams lpt =(MarginLayoutParams)tv.getLayoutParams();
lpt.setMargins(leftMargin,lpt.topMargin,lpt.rightMargin,lpt.bottomMargin);

  LinearLayout.LayoutParams param = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
                   /*width*/ ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
                   /*height*/ ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
                   /*weight*/ 1.0f
            );
            YOUR_VIEW.setLayoutParams(param);
