Xamarin.Android Material Button SetMinHeight programmatically? - xamarin.android

Question

I'm trying to create a Material Button programmatically in Xamarin.Android and attaching this to a TableRow which is in turn attached to a Table. In OnCreate, I SetContentView before calling the CreateButtons() function below. When I use SetMinHeight() inside the function, the button shows but the min height doesn't appear to work. However, when this code is added to the click event and the button is pressed, it updates the button correctly.
The function that loads with the Activity:
public void CreateButtons()
{
var tableLayout = FindViewById<TableLayout>(Resource.Id.tableLayout1);
TableRow.LayoutParams buttonParams = new TableRow.LayoutParams(
0,
TableRow.LayoutParams.WrapContent,
1.0f
);
buttonParams.SetMargins(3, 3, 3, 3);
TableRow tr = new TableRow(this);
tr.LayoutParameters = new TableRow.LayoutParams(
TableRow.LayoutParams.WrapContent,
TableRow.LayoutParams.WrapContent
);
MaterialButton button = new MaterialButton(this);
button.Text = "Test Button";
button.TextAlignment = TextAlignment.Center;
button.IconSize = 158;
button.Icon = GetDrawable(Resource.Drawable.goodsin);
button.IconGravity = 16;
button.Click += Button_Click;
button.LayoutParameters = buttonParams;
button.SetMinHeight(126);
tr.AddView(button);
tableLayout.AddView(tr);
}
The button after the function has generated it, cutting the text off:
The code inside the button click event:
private void Button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var button = (MaterialButton)sender;
button.SetMinHeight(126);
}
The button after the click event has completed, now showing the correct size and text:
