Answer 1

Almost the same solution, but using Kotlin:

In file BindingAdapters.kt add:

@BindingAdapter("layoutMarginBottom")
fun setLayoutMarginBottom(view: View, dimen: Float) {
    view.updateLayoutParams {
        bottomMargin = dimen.toInt()
    }
}

Usage in layout:

You can write similar method for top, start, end margins.
