Is it possible to change the layout width and height in Android at run time?

Question

I have two relative layouts. Both have width of fill parent and height of 100 dip. My requirement is when I click the first layout it should shrink to 50dip height and the other expand to the 150dip height. While doing this I got exception. Please help me how to change the layout width and height at run time.

    final LinearLayout RLChange = new LinearLayout(this);        
    RLChange.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
                                             LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT)); 
    RLChange.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);

    final LinearLayout RLGreen = new LinearLayout(this);        
    RLGreen.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
                                             300));
    RLGreen.setBackgroundColor(Color.GREEN);
    RLGreen.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);

    Button btnClick = new Button(this);        
    btnClick.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
            LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
    btnClick.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);

    RLGreen.addView(btnClick);


    final LinearLayout RLYellow = new LinearLayout(this);        
    RLYellow.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
                                             200));
    RLYellow.setBackgroundColor(Color.YELLOW);


    btnClick.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {            
        public void onClick(View view) {  
                    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "click", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                    RLGreen.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
                            LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT));  
        }
     });  

    RLChange.addView(RLGreen);
    RLChange.addView(RLYellow);
    setContentView(RLChange);

Answer 1

In onClick Listener add this code.

Button button = (Button) findViewById(view.getId());
LinearLayout rLGreen = ((LinearLayout) button.getParent());
rLGreen.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT));

It will work.
