Programmatically set height on LayoutParams as density-independent pixels

Question

Is there any way to set the height/width of a LayoutParams as density-independent pixels (dp)? It looks like the height/width, when set programmatically, are in pixels and n

Answer 1

Here is my snippet:

public class DpiUtils {

    public static int toPixels(int dp, DisplayMetrics metrics) {
        return (int) TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, dp, metrics);
    }

}

where DisplayMetrics metrics = getResources().getDisplayMetrics()
