//converting dps to pixels dip-pixel
//username refers to edittext in the main UI thread

You need

Resources r = getResources();
int px =(int)TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP
                                  ,200
                                  ,r.DisplayMetrics()); 
username.setWidth(px);

you need to convert device pixels into pixels to set the width. Here, 200 is the width of edittext UI widget in dp.

btn.getLayoutParams().width=300;
btn.getLayoutParams().height=100;

This will set your button width 300px button height100px.

 btn = new Button(Activity.this);
btn.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));

    btn.setText("\t\t" + lbl + "\t\t\t  ");
            btn.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.blue_button);
    btn.setwidth(100);
