Margins of a LinearLayout, programmatically with dp

Question

Is it possible to set the Margins of a LinearLayout, programmatically but not with pixels, but dp?

Answer 1

You can convert dp to px, for example convert 5dp to px:

Resources r = mContext.getResources();
int px = (int) TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, 5, r.getDisplayMetrics());
