    addQuestion = new Button(myContext);
    addQuestion.setId(134);
    addQuestion.setTag("addQuestion");
    addQuestion.setBackgroundDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.add_button));
    addQuestion.setGravity(Gravity.LEFT);

    LinearLayout.LayoutParams addQuestion_Params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(24, 24);  
    addQuestion_Params.leftMargin=20;
    addQuestion.setOnClickListener(myScreenClickListener);        
    questionAndAddButtonContainer.addView(addQuestion, addQuestion_Params);

above given is an example of dynamically setting height and width of a button.

LinearLayout.LayoutParams addQuestion_Params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(24, 24);

here 24 is d width and height of the button.

Use LayoutParams, to set the layout in the code. I haven't tried this, but saw something similar to this in a related post.

Also this is provided as an answer by someone else, so it works, it seems.

You should just be able to set them with the setWidth(int width) and setHeight(int height). Something like this:

EditText edit = new EditText(this);
edit.setWidth(100);
edit.setHeight(50);

Use setWidth and setHeight method. There's no layout property in code design. For more about TextView and EditText, look at the documentation: TextView EditText

And if you need to set the size in "dip", there's no dip when coding, you need the DisplayMetric, then calculate the size yourself.
