android setLayoutParams for webview generates ERROR

Question

is it possible to set

mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webviewHelp);
        mWebView.setLayoutParams(new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(100, 200));

here

 mWebView.setLayoutParams(new Gallery.LayoutParams(70,85));

is also tested but not working :(

in my activity? my xml file is as below

(here i've to create webview through XML is needed in my application)

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"   android:id="@+id/rl"
        android:layout_height="360dip">
    <!--    <WebView android:id="@+id/webviewHelp" android:layout_width="fill_parent"-->
    <!--        android:layout_height="fill_parent" />-->
    <WebView android:id="@+id/webviewHelp" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
        <Button android:id="@+id/My_btn"
            android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
            android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:gravity="center" android:textSize="8px" android:text="Download this mp3 file"
    android:textColor="@color/white" 
            android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="33dip"
            android:visibility="invisible" />
        <Button android:id="@+id/My_btn1"
            android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
            android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:text="this is button !"
            android:layout_width="0dip" android:layout_height="0dip"
            android:visibility="invisible" />
    </RelativeLayout>

Instead of this:

   mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webviewHelp);    
   mWebView.setLayoutParams(new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(100, 200));

use:

   mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webviewHelp);        
   LayoutParamters lp = mWebView.getLayoutParams();    
   lp.width=100;   
   lp.height=200;   
   mWebView.setLayoutParams(lp);
