I want to change width of sprite dynamically but i can't perform it.!! Here i want to change only my white sprite i want to use these type of facility in my game in using AndEngine I want to display life of player

I add my code its for temporary code you can change this code set your life of player
life = 10;
final Sprite whiteSprite= new Sprite(0, 0, testRegion);
scene.attachChild(whiteSprite);
width = whiteSprite.getWidth();
scale = width/life;
Timer timer = new Timer();
timer.schedule(new TimerTask() {
@Override
public void run() {
width-=scale;
if (width > 0) {
whiteSprite.setWidth(width);
}
}
}, 5000, 1000);
I finally found how you can change width or height with modifiers of andengine. Don't think you need it now. But it can be helpful for others.
entity.registerEntityModifier(new SingleValueSpanEntityModifier(duration, fromHeight, toHeight) {
protected void onSetInitialValue(IEntity pItem, float pValue) {}
@Override
protected void onSetValue(IEntity pItem, float pPercentageDone, float pValue) {
((CLASS)pItem).setHeight(pValue);
//where CLASS is the class of your item (Rectangle or Sprite...)
//as Entity class hasn't width and hight params.
// pValue is a variable from modifier. So, you write it like that.
}
public IEntityModifier deepCopy() throws DeepCopyNotSupportedException {return null;}
});
