Programmatically change the width of the Button in android

Question

How to change the width of a Button programmatically. I am able to change the height but the width does not change. Following is my code snippet

private void createButton(final String label) {      Button button = new Button(this);     button.setText(label);       button.setWidth(10);     button.setHeight(100);      button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()      {          @Override         public void onClick(View v)          {           }     });     mMenuContainer.addView(button, mMenuItemLayoutParamters);   } 

But the width of the Button occupies the width of the screen.

button.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(10, 100));

you should apply LayoutParams of the ViewGroup that contains your View. That is, if your button is inside RelativeLayout, you should use RelativeLayout.LayoutParams
