You should be able to do this as follows: setMinimumWidth(w); setMaxWidth(w); setMinimumHeight(h); setMaxHeight(h);
Or, if you set it up as a horizontal linear layout that contains the four different views and give each view the same weight (e.g. give each ImageView a weight value of 1), then the layout should be able to do the resizing work for you and make sure that each view takes up the same amount of space on the screen, regardless of the screen size or resolution. Personally, I think that creating layouts in android with XML files is genius. It takes some getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, it is very handy.
