How to change width of an ImageView in Android SDK

Question

so I'm trying to learn to do stuff with Android apps, and I have an ImageView named (id) "img_BarHealth" that i initialize to be "160dp".

I have made a button and hooked it up to this function:

public void onBack(View view) {
    //Get link to the object.
    ImageView bar_Health = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.img_BarHealth);

    //This is what I want done. (However this value is not accessable it seems)
    bar_Health.width = "80dp";
}

So, any suggestions? =)

Use getLayoutParams().width

ImageView bar_Health = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.img_BarHealth);
    bar_Health.getLayoutParams().width = 80;

You have to call getLayoutParams().width and then you need to convert dip to pixel size:

public int convertDipToPixels(float dips)
{
    return (int) (dips * getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density + 0.5f);
}

Something working would be close to:

bar_Health.getLayoutParams().width = convertDipToPixels(80);
