How do I set android:layout_columnWeight="1" programmatically to an element in an android support v7 Gridlayout

Question

I'm trying to build a GirdLayout programmatically with 2 columns and I want these columns to have equal width set at half the width of the screen.

I figured out you can do this since API 21 or with the support v7 GirdLayout view. I see examples that uses android:layout_columnWeight="1" to do this. But I can not find how to do this programmatically.

Can anyone help me with this matter?

package com.tunify.v3.component;

import java.util.ArrayList;

import android.support.v7.widget.GridLayout;
import android.util.DisplayMetrics;
import android.util.TypedValue;
import android.view.ViewGroup;

import com.tunify.asme.data.ChangeableSelectionParameterValue;

public class ChangeableSelectionParameters extends GridLayout{

//private ArrayList<ChangeableSelectionParameterView> selectionParameterViews;
private ArrayList<ChangeableSelectionParameterValue> selectionParameterValues;

private static final int ITEM_PADDING_LEFT_DP = 0;
private static final int ITEM_PADDING_RIGHT_DP = 0;
private static final int ITEM_PADDING_TOP_DP = 0;
private static final int ITEM_PADDING_BOTTOM_DP = 0;

//private static final int MUSICCOLLECTION_DISPLAY_TEXT_SIZE_SP = 15;


public ChangeableSelectionParameters(android.content.Context context, ArrayList<ChangeableSelectionParameterValue> selectionParameterValues) {
    super(context);

    this.selectionParameterValues = selectionParameterValues;

    initializeLayoutBasics(context);
    initializeComponents();
}

private void initializeLayoutBasics(android.content.Context context) {
    setOrientation(VERTICAL);
    setColumnCount(2);
    setRowCount((int)Math.ceil(selectionParameterValues.size()/2.0));

    int width = ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT;
    int height = ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT;
    android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams layoutParams = new android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams(width, height);
    this.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);

    DisplayMetrics metrics = getResources().getDisplayMetrics();

    int paddingLeftPx = (int) TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, ITEM_PADDING_LEFT_DP, metrics);
    int paddingRightPx = (int) TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, ITEM_PADDING_RIGHT_DP, metrics);
    int paddingTopPx = (int) TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, ITEM_PADDING_TOP_DP, metrics);
    int paddingBottomPx = (int) TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, ITEM_PADDING_BOTTOM_DP, metrics);
    setPadding(paddingLeftPx, paddingTopPx, paddingRightPx, paddingBottomPx);

}

private void initializeComponents() {

    for(ChangeableSelectionParameterValue param : this.selectionParameterValues){
        ChangeableSelectionParameterView v = new ChangeableSelectionParameterView(getContext(), param);
        //TODO set views layout column weight to 1
        this.addView(v);
    }
 }
}

SOLUTION:

 GridLayout.LayoutParams parem = new LayoutParams(GridLayout.spec(GridLayout.UNDEFINED, 1f),      GridLayout.spec(GridLayout.UNDEFINED, 1f));
 v.setLayoutParams(parem);

I found this method from GridLayout: http://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/ext/com.google.android/android/5.0.0_r1/android/widget/GridLayout.java#GridLayout.spec%28int%2Cfloat%29

So maybe you could try something like this:

((GridLayout.LayoutParams) this.getLayoutParams()).columnSpec =
    GridLayout.spec(GridLayout.UNDEFINED, 1f);
