How do i set cell height to be as it's width in android TableLayout?

I have TableLayout as following:

<TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
             android:layout_width="fill_parent"
             android:layout_height="fill_parent"
             android:stretchColumns="1">

<TableRow>
  <Button
     android:id="@+id/b1"
     android:layout_width="0dip"
     android:layout_height="fill_parent"
     android:layout_weight="1"
     android:gravity="center" />
  <Button
     android:id="@+id/b2"
     android:layout_width="0dip"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:layout_weight="1"
     android:gravity="center" />
  <Button
     android:id="@+id/b3"
     android:layout_width="0dip"
     android:layout_height="fill_parent"
     android:layout_weight="1"
     android:gravity="center" />
 </TableRow>
</TableLayout>

Each Button has the same width. I want the height of those buttons to be exactly the same as their width. I tried to do it programmally by:

Button b1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.b1);
b1.setHeight(b1.getWidth());

but it doesn't work (it gave me value of 0). I suppose it because when i do it (inside onCreate method) the button isn't set yet.

First, you are right, you get value of 0, because the screen didn't draw yet when you try to get the button width.

As I see it, the only possibility to do it like you want, is to give them pre defind value in the XML file.

For example:

  <Button
     android:id="@+id/b1"
     android:layout_width="25dip"
     android:layout_height="25dip"
     android:gravity="center" />

Set the width and height programmally: 

DisplayMetrics metrics = new DisplayMetrics();
getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(metrics);

btnWidth = metrics.heightPixels/3 - 50;//gap
btnHeight = btnWidth;

Button b1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.b1);
b1.setHeight(btnWidth);
b1.setWidth(btnWidth);
