LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT does not work but integer does

Question

I am generating editTexts in a TableRow and the editTexts width is wrapping the content by default. I tried to set their width to match_parent like this:

TableRow tr = new TableRow(getActivity());
EditText et = new EditText(getActivity());

LayoutParams lparams = new TableRow.LayoutParams(
    LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
    LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);

et.setLayoutParams(lparams);

It did not change anything, but i can set their width if i replace LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT with an integer. Could you please point me in the right direction to see why i cannot set their width to MATCH_PARENT?

I accidentally found out, that if i am not using a TableRow, but placing the editTexts into the TableLayout its width will automaticall match the parent's width.
