Layout width equal height

Question

Is there a method to have the height depending from the width in my xml?

I have some Buttons in a linear layout. The button's widths depending from the device because they fill the screen horizontally. I want to have square buttons and this is my problem. Is there one can help me?

<Button
            android:id="@+id/b_0xa"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:clickable="false"
            android:text="@string/b_0xa" />

To make the height of view equals to width of view, can use ConstraintLayout

 app:layout_constraintDimensionRatio="1:1"

1 before : is for width

1 after : is for height

Please try below code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">
    <Button
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        app:layout_constraintDimensionRatio="1:1"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
        android:text="Button"/>

</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

The output of above code is:
