How to make buttons with same width programaticly

I have 2 buttons, and I need to make them with same (biggest) width. Something like 

if(button1.getWidth() > button2.getWidth){
   button2.setWidth(button1.getWidth());
}
else{
   button1.setWidth(button2.getWidth());
}

But when I try using this way it produce strange result, button height also change, and widths not the same.

When I use LayoutParams it doesn't work too

LinearLayout.LayoutParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(button1.getWidth(),
                                                          button2.getHeight());
// Or ViewGroup.LayoutParams

Put both buttons in LinearLayout and set buttons android:layout_width="0dp" and android:layout_weight="1"

<LinearLayout
 android:layout_width="match_parent"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 android:orientation="horizontal">
    <Button
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:text="Button 1" />
   <Button
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:text="Button 2" />
</LinearLayout>

Use

Button.getLayoutParams().width
Button.getLayoutParams().height

instead of 

Button.getWidth()
Button.getHeight()

to get the width height of Button.

and set the width of button1 equal to button2

button1.getLayoutParams().width = button2.getLayoutParams().width;

and vice versa.

Wrap them in a LinearLayout and set the width to 0dp and the weight to equal values like 1. I suppose you can also do this programmatically.
