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

Well for the kotlin guys i have got handy helper fun which works perfectly :)

fun setMarginsInDp(v: View, l: Int, t: Int, r: Int, b: Int) {
    if (v.layoutParams is ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams){
        val screenDensity: Float = v.context.resources.displayMetrics.density
        val params: ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams = v.layoutParams as ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams
        params.setMargins(l*screenDensity.toInt(), t*screenDensity.toInt(), r*screenDensity.toInt(), b*screenDensity.toInt())
        v.requestLayout()
    }
}

Just pass in a valid view and all set up!
