This example demonstrates about How can I set an ImageView's width and height programmatically in Android

Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project.

Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:id="@+id/rlMain"
   android:layout_height="match_parent"
   android:layout_margin="16dp" />

Step 3 − Add the following code to src/MainActivity.java

package app.com.sample;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.RelativeLayout;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
   @Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
      RelativeLayout rlMain = findViewById(R.id.rlMain);
      ImageView imageView = new ImageView(this);
      imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_launcher_background);
      RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
         RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
         RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT
      );
      imageView.setLayoutParams(params);
      rlMain.addView(imageView);
   }
}

Step 4 − Add the following code to androidManifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="app.com.sample">
   <application
      android:allowBackup="true"
      android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
      android:label="@string/app_name"
      android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
      android:supportsRtl="true"
      android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
      <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
         <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
         </intent-filter>
      </activity>
   </application>
</manifest>
