You can set the Layout Params progrematiclly this way:

myImageView.setLayoutParams(new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));

or set a number instead.

Image size manipulation sometimes maybe tricky and it's recommended to first get image layout params, change it and set it back:

android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams layoutParams = myImageView.getLayoutParams();
layoutParams.width = 30;
layoutParams.height = 30;
myImageView.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);

and if you still have a problem to change it's size try to put it inside of a LinearLayout and manipulate the imageView size using the layout params:

LinearLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(30, 30);
myImageView.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
