Changing RelativeLayout - the height changes but not width

I have a relative layout that will expand / collapse - so I increase/decrease the height when a user taps on it.

I'm using this code

RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = (RelativeLayout.LayoutParams) view.getLayoutParams();
params.height = intialExpandedHeight; // or initialHeight - based on the expand or collapse effect
params.width = screenWidht + 150; // or a screenWidht value when collapsed
view.setLayoutParams(params);
view.requestLayout();

The height of the layout changes and it works the way I want it to - the only problem is that the width is not changing. (it's the same every time)

Could you please tell me what seems to be the problem with my code? Why does the height changes but not width?

What is `view` here? post more code. – faizanjehangir May 06 '14 at 07:52
View is the relative layout I was talking about – Alin May 06 '14 at 08:08

This code looks good, but the redundant `view.requestLayout()`. The problem must be somewhere else. – Steve Benett May 06 '14 at 09:00
Thanks. I'll look into it more...surely is something that I'm missing – Alin May 06 '14 at 09:17
