Apps How to Reduce size of EditText programmatically

[wertyu]

Hi,

In my sample application I'm using a LinearLayout and not using the layout XML. I have defined an EditText but it spans the width of the layout and I want to make it much smaller. I've called setWidth but it had no effect. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Code;

EditText symbol;

protected​

​

​

​

​

void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout(this);
layout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);

​

symbol =new EditText(this);
​

symbol.setMaxWidth(300);
layout.addView(symbol);
