How do I set Layout and Text size to DP inside program?

Question

Basically I have this inside XML, but I have to recreate it inside a code. How do I do it?

Answer 1

Just for completeness: Another solution (which I'd prefer) for the question is given here

setTextSize(float) expects a scaled pixel value. So, setTextSize(10) would give you the desired result. However, getDimension() and getDimensionPixelSize() return the size in units of pixels.

So for your example it would be

setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_PX, getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.edTxt_text_size));

where 10dp is set in your dimens.xml file for example.
