Set size of ImageView in px at runtime

Question

I want to put 8 image thumbs in one horizontal line, using the whole available width.
The images are retrieved from a webservice which lets me specify the dimensions.

Answer 1

I'd suggest using this:

widthPx = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getWidth();

Answer 2

Add the ImageViews with a fixed size, i.e.:

thumbs.addView (iv, new LayoutParams(thumbSize, thumbSize));

To answer (partially) the questions in the comments:

The ImageView API says:

takes care of computing its measurement from the image so that it can be used in any layout manager

so it is probably assuming 60px for a 160 dpi (I may be wrong there).
