Set a view's width to be relative to device screen programmatically

I have a horizontal RecyclerView with child elements which I want to change the width of to be a bit less than the current match_parent set via the layout. I want to do this so that the next element in list is a bit visible on screen.
In the adapter onCreateViewHolder I am doing this:
ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = view.getLayoutParams();
params.width = MainActivity.deviceWidth - (int) MainActivity.dpToPx(40.0f);
view.setLayoutParams(params);
where MainActivity.deviceWidth is:
DisplayMetrics displaymetrics = new DisplayMetrics();
this.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(displaymetrics);
deviceWidth = displaymetrics.widthPixels;
screenDensity = Resources.getSystem().getDisplayMetrics().density;
and dpToPx is this function:
public static float dpToPx(float dp) {
return (dp * screenDensity + 0.5f);
}
This works. however, I noticed that on different devices, the "margin" I am setting is not always the same. I.e. the next card in the RecyclerView is not always showing the same amount.
Is the dpToPx conversion correct? I might be missing something else in my calculation but I am not sure what.
Update
Changing:
params.width = MainActivity.deviceWidth - (int) MainActivity.dpToPx(40.0f);
To:
params.width = (int) (MainActivity.deviceWidth *0.9);
works!. I am fine with this solution. I just want to know why the previous one does not work...

Create custom compass on map or move native button

I have tried to change position of compass button from top-left to bottom-left, but can't.
As I seen there are many suggestions to create a custom one and disable native button, but no one complete and normal example.
How to add custom compass button on android map?

You can change the position of built in Compass. Try this code:
ViewGroup parent = (ViewGroup) mapView.findViewById(Integer.parseInt("1")).getParent();
View compassButton = parent.getChildAt(4);
/* now set position compass */
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams rlp = (RelativeLayout.LayoutParams) compassButton.getLayoutParams();
rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_END, 0);
rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP);
rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_START);
rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_BOTTOM, 0);
Resources r = context.getResources();
float px = TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, 50, r.getDisplayMetrics());
rlp.setMargins(0, (int)px,0, 0); // 160 la truc y , 30 la truc x
px = TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, 30, r.getDisplayMetrics());
rlp.setMarginEnd((int)px);
compassButton.setLayoutParams(rlp);
Just play with RelativeLayout params and set it on desired location

Setting appropriate zoom Android Google Maps API [duplicate]

I have 10 markers in the GoogleMap. I want to zoom in as much as possible and keep all markers in view? In the earlier version this can be achieved from zoomToSpan() but in v2 I have no idea how about doing that. Further, I know the radius of the circle that needs to be visible.

You should use the CameraUpdate class to do (probably) all programmatic map movements.
To do this, first calculate the bounds of all the markers like so:
LatLngBounds.Builder builder = new LatLngBounds.Builder();
for (Marker marker : markers) {
builder.include(marker.getPosition());
}
LatLngBounds bounds = builder.build();
Then obtain a movement description object by using the factory: CameraUpdateFactory:
int padding = 0; // offset from edges of the map in pixels
CameraUpdate cu = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(bounds, padding);
Finally move the map:
googleMap.moveCamera(cu);
Or if you want an animation:
googleMap.animateCamera(cu);
That's all :)
Clarification 1
Almost all movement methods require the Map object to have passed the layout process. You can wait for this to happen using the addOnGlobalLayoutListener construct. Details can be found in comments to this answer and remaining answers. You can also find a complete code for setting map extent using addOnGlobalLayoutListener here.
Clarification 2
One comment notes that using this method for only one marker results in map zoom set to a "bizarre" zoom level (which I believe to be maximum zoom level available for given location). I think this is expected because:
The LatLngBounds bounds instance will have northeast property equal to southwest, meaning that the portion of area of the earth covered by this bounds is exactly zero. (This is logical since a single marker has no area.)
By passing bounds to CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds you essentially request a calculation of such a zoom level that bounds (having zero area) will cover the whole map view.
You can actually perform this calculation on a piece of paper. The theoretical zoom level that is the answer is +∞ (positive infinity). In practice the Map object doesn't support this value so it is clamped to a more reasonable maximum level allowed for given location.
Another way to put it: how can Map object know what zoom level should it choose for a single location? Maybe the optimal value should be 20 (if it represents a specific address). Or maybe 11 (if it represents a town). Or maybe 6 (if it represents a country). API isn't that smart and the decision is up to you.
So, you should simply check if markers has only one location and if so, use one of:
CameraUpdate cu = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(marker.getPosition()) - go to marker position, leave current zoom level intact.
CameraUpdate cu = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(marker.getPosition(), 12F) - go to marker position, set zoom level to arbitrarily chosen value 12.

Google Map V2
The following solution works for Android Marshmallow 6 (API 23, API 24, API 25, API 26, API 27, API 28). It also works in Xamarin.
LatLngBounds.Builder builder = new LatLngBounds.Builder();
//the include method will calculate the min and max bound.
builder.include(marker1.getPosition());
builder.include(marker2.getPosition());
builder.include(marker3.getPosition());
builder.include(marker4.getPosition());
LatLngBounds bounds = builder.build();
int width = getResources().getDisplayMetrics().widthPixels;
int height = getResources().getDisplayMetrics().heightPixels;
int padding = (int) (width * 0.10); // offset from edges of the map 10% of screen
CameraUpdate cu = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(bounds, width, height, padding);
mMap.animateCamera(cu);

I couldnt use the onGlobalLayoutlistener, so here is another solution to prevent the
"Map size can't be 0. Most likely, layout has not yet occured for the map view. Either wait until layout has occurred or use newLatLngBounds(LatLngBounds, int, int, int) which allows you to specify the map's dimensions." error:
mMap.setOnMapLoadedCallback(new GoogleMap.OnMapLoadedCallback() {
#Override
public void onMapLoaded() {
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(builder.build(), 15));
}
});

So
I needed to use addOnGlobalLayoutListener to get the appropriate sample
for example, your Google Map is inside RelativeLayout:
RelativeLayout mapLayout = (RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.map_layout);
mapLayout.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
#Override
public void onGlobalLayout() {
//and write code, which you can see in answer above
}
});

Working fine for me.
From this code, I am displaying multiple markers with particular zoom on map screen.
// Declared variables
private LatLngBounds bounds;
private LatLngBounds.Builder builder;
// Method for adding multiple marker points with drawable icon
private void drawMarker(LatLng point, String text) {
MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions();
markerOptions.position(point).title(text).icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.icon));
mMap.addMarker(markerOptions);
builder.include(markerOptions.getPosition());
}
// For adding multiple markers visible on map
#Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
mMap = googleMap;
builder = new LatLngBounds.Builder();
for (int i = 0; i < locationList.size(); i++) {
drawMarker(new LatLng(Double.parseDouble(locationList.get(i).getLatitude()), Double.parseDouble(locationList.get(i).getLongitude())), locationList.get(i).getNo());
}
bounds = builder.build();
CameraUpdate cu = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(bounds, 0);
mMap.animateCamera(cu);

Note - This is not a solution to the original question. This is a solution to one of the subproblems discussed above.
Solution to #andr Clarification 2 -
Its really problematic when there's only one marker in the bounds and due to it the zoom level is set to a very high level (level 21). And Google does not provide any way to set the max zoom level at this point. This can also happen when there are more than 1 marker but they are all pretty close to each other. Then also the same problem will occur.
Solution - Suppose you want your Map to never go beyond 16 zoom level. Then after doing -
CameraUpdate cu = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(bounds, padding);
mMap.moveCamera(cu);
Check if your zoom level has crossed level 16(or whatever you want) -
float currentZoom = mMap.getCameraPosition().zoom;
And if this level is greater than 16, which it will only be if there are very less markers or all the markers are very close to each other, then simply zoom out your map at that particular position only by seting the zoom level to 16.
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(16));
This way you'll never have the problem of "bizarre" zoom level explained very well by #andr too.

this would help.. from google apis demos
private List<Marker> markerList = new ArrayList<>();
Marker marker = mGoogleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(geoLatLng)
.title(title));

// Pan to see all markers in view.
// Cannot zoom to bounds until the map has a size.

Show All Markers with Google map
In these Methods store all Markers and automatically zoom to show all markers in google map.
// Declare the Markers List.
List<MarkerOptions> markerList;
private BitmapDescriptor vnrPoint,banPoint;
public void storeAllMarkers()
{
markerList=new ArrayList<>();
markerList.removeAll(markerList);
// latitude and longitude of Virudhunagar
double latitude1=9.587209;
double longitude1=77.951431;
vnrPoint=BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.location_icon_1);
LatLng vnr = new LatLng(latitude1, longitude1);
MarkerOptions vnrMarker = new MarkerOptions();
vnrMarker.position(vnr);
vnrMarker.icon(vnrPoint);
markerList.add(vnrMarker);
// latitude and longitude of Bengaluru
double latitude2=12.972442;
double longitude2=77.580643;
banPoint=BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.location_icon_2);
LatLng ban = new LatLng(latitude2, longitude2);
MarkerOptions bengalureMarker = new MarkerOptions();
bengalureMarker.position(ban);
bengalureMarker.icon(banPoint);
markerList.add(bengalureMarker);
// You can add any numbers of MarkerOptions like this.
showAllMarkers();
}
public void showAllMarkers()
{
LatLngBounds.Builder builder = new LatLngBounds.Builder();
for (MarkerOptions m : markerList) {
builder.include(m.getPosition());
}
LatLngBounds bounds = builder.build();
int width = getResources().getDisplayMetrics().widthPixels;
int height = getResources().getDisplayMetrics().heightPixels;
int padding = (int) (width * 0.30);
// Zoom and animate the google map to show all markers
CameraUpdate cu = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(bounds, width, height, padding);
googleMap.animateCamera(cu);
}

I had similar problem, using following code solved the issue:
CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(bounds, 200, 200, 5) generally the location differences in my case are no more than two neighbour cities.
zoom to fit all markers on map google maps v2

I have one other way to do this same thing works perfectly. so the idea behind to show all markers on the screen we need a center lat long and zoom level. here is the function which will give you both and need all marker's Latlng objects as input.
public Pair<LatLng, Integer> getCenterWithZoomLevel(LatLng... l) {
float max = 0;
if (l == null || l.length == 0) {
return null;
}
LatLngBounds.Builder b = new LatLngBounds.Builder();
for (int count = 0; count < l.length; count++) {
if (l[count] == null) {
continue;
}
b.include(l[count]);
}
LatLng center = b.build().getCenter();
float distance = 0;
for (int count = 0; count < l.length; count++) {
if (l[count] == null) {
continue;
}
distance = distance(center, l[count]);
if (distance > max) {
max = distance;
}
}
double scale = max / 1000;
int zoom = ((int) (16 - Math.log(scale) / Math.log(2)));
return new Pair<LatLng, Integer>(center, zoom);
}
This function return Pair object which you can use like
Pair pair = getCenterWithZoomLevel(l1,l2,l3..);
mGoogleMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(pair.first, pair.second));
you can instead of using padding to keep away your markers from screen boundaries, you can adjust zoom by -1.

I worked the same problem for showing multiple markers in Kotlin using a fragment
first declare a list of markers
private lateinit var markers: MutableList<Marker>
initialize this in the oncreate method of the frament
override fun onCreateView(
inflater: LayoutInflater,
container: ViewGroup?,
savedInstanceState: Bundle?
): View? {
//initialize markers list
markers = mutableListOf()
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_driver_map, container, false)
}
on the OnMapReadyCallback add the markers to the markers list
private val callback = OnMapReadyCallback { googleMap ->
map = googleMap
markers.add(
map.addMarker(
MarkerOptions().position(riderLatLng)
.title("Driver")
.snippet("Driver")
.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_RED))))
markers.add(
map.addMarker(
MarkerOptions().position(driverLatLng)
.title("Driver")
.snippet("Driver")
.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_GREEN))))
Still on the callback
//create builder
val builder = LatLngBounds.builder()
//loop through the markers list
for (marker in markers) {
builder.include(marker.position)
}
//create a bound
val bounds = builder.build()
//set a 200 pixels padding from the edge of the screen
val cu = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(bounds,200)
//move and animate the camera
map.moveCamera(cu)
//animate camera by providing zoom and duration args, callBack set to null
map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(10f), 2000, null)
Merry coding guys

Use the method "getCenterCoordinate" to obtain the center coordinate and use in CameraPosition.
private void setUpMap() {
mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
mMap.getUiSettings().setScrollGesturesEnabled(true);
mMap.getUiSettings().setTiltGesturesEnabled(true);
mMap.getUiSettings().setRotateGesturesEnabled(true);
clientMarker = mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
.position(new LatLng(Double.valueOf(-12.1024174), Double.valueOf(-77.0262274)))
.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.mipmap.ic_taxi))
);
clientMarker = mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
.position(new LatLng(Double.valueOf(-12.1024637), Double.valueOf(-77.0242617)))
.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.mipmap.ic_location))
);
camPos = new CameraPosition.Builder()
.target(getCenterCoordinate())
.zoom(17)
.build();
camUpd3 = CameraUpdateFactory.newCameraPosition(camPos);
mMap.animateCamera(camUpd3);
}
public LatLng getCenterCoordinate(){
LatLngBounds.Builder builder = new LatLngBounds.Builder();
builder.include(new LatLng(Double.valueOf(-12.1024174), Double.valueOf(-77.0262274)));
builder.include(new LatLng(Double.valueOf(-12.1024637), Double.valueOf(-77.0242617)));
LatLngBounds bounds = builder.build();
return bounds.getCenter();
}

//For adding a marker in Google map
MarkerOptions mp = new MarkerOptions();
mp.position(new LatLng(Double.parseDouble(latitude), Double.parseDouble(longitude)));
mp.snippet(strAddress);
map.addMarker(mp);
try {
b = new LatLngBounds.Builder();
if (MapDetailsList.list != null && MapDetailsList.list.size() > 0) {
for (int i = 0; i < MapDetailsList.list.size(); i++) {
b.include(new LatLng(Double.parseDouble(MapDetailsList.list.get(i).getLatitude()),
Double.parseDouble(MapDetailsList.list.get(i).getLongitude())));
}
LatLngBounds bounds = b.build();
DisplayMetrics displayMetrics = getResources().getDisplayMetrics();
int width = displayMetrics.widthPixels;
int height = displayMetrics.heightPixels;
// Change the padding as per needed
CameraUpdate cu = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(bounds, width-200, height-200, 5);

Android sliding tabs - set width of tabs programmatically

With my sliding tabs project, how can I programmatically set the width of the tabs so that they use the whole space of the sliding tab strip and are each equal in width size? I've tried using the code below but the tabs won't stretch as desired.
SlidingTabLayout.java
protected TextView createDefaultTabView(Context context) {
TextView textView = new TextView(context);
textView.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
textView.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP, TAB_VIEW_TEXT_SIZE_SP);
textView.setTypeface(Typeface.DEFAULT_BOLD);
textView.setTextColor(context.getResources().getColor(R.color.black));
textView.setWidth(0);
int padding = (int) (TAB_VIEW_PADDING_DIPS * getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density);
textView.setPadding(padding, padding, padding, padding);
return textView;
}
Text weight error

Add this in your method
WindowManager wm = (WindowManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
Display display = wm.getDefaultDisplay();
Point size = new Point();
display.getSize(size);
textView.setWidth(size.x / count); // Where count is number of textviews
Also if you are supporting older version
Use this
if(android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB_MR2)
{
display.getSize(size);
}
else
{
size.set(display.getWidth(), display.getHeight());
}

In a update these you can now use,
mSlidingTabLayout.setDistributeEvenly(true);
within the onViewCeated,
More can be found here.

I have a different problem, wherein I had to customize each of the tabs' width:
I was using setDistributeEvenly function. Instead I needed to set each of the textviews' weight.
Add this variable on your SlidingTabLayout.java:
private int[] mTabWeights;
This method should set the tab weights:
public void setTabWeights(int[] weights){
mTabWeights = weights;
}
Look for the method populateTabStrip() and add an else statement:
if (mDistributeEvenly) {
LinearLayout.LayoutParams lp = (LinearLayout.LayoutParams) tabView.getLayoutParams();
lp.width = 0;
lp.weight = 1;
}else{
LinearLayout.LayoutParams lp = (LinearLayout.LayoutParams) tabView.getLayoutParams();
lp.width = 0;
lp.weight = mTabWeights[i];
}
You can refactor the code to make it cleaner. Here it is when used:
stNews = (SlidingTabLayout) findViewById(R.id.stNews);
stNews.setDistributeEvenly(false);
stNews.setTabWeights(new int[]{2,3,3});
Here's the end result:
Hope it helps!

Android center view with SetMargins programmatically? [duplicate]

I want to add an unknown number of ImageView views to my layout with margin. In XML, I can use layout_margin like this:
<ImageView android:layout_margin="5dip" android:src="#drawable/image" />
There is ImageView.setPadding(), but no ImageView.setMargin(). I think it's along the lines of ImageView.setLayoutParams(LayoutParams), but not sure what to feed into that.
Does anyone know?

android.view.ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams has a method setMargins(left, top, right, bottom). Direct subclasses are: FrameLayout.LayoutParams, LinearLayout.LayoutParams and RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.
Using e.g. LinearLayout:
LinearLayout.LayoutParams lp = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
lp.setMargins(left, top, right, bottom);
imageView.setLayoutParams(lp);
MarginLayoutParams
This sets the margins in pixels. To scale it use
context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density
DisplayMetrics

image = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageID);
MarginLayoutParams marginParams = new MarginLayoutParams(image.getLayoutParams());
marginParams.setMargins(left_margin, top_margin, right_margin, bottom_margin);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(marginParams);
image.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);

All the above examples will actually REPLACE any params already present for the View, which may not be desired. The below code will just extend the existing params, without replacing them:
ImageView myImage = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image_view);
MarginLayoutParams marginParams = (MarginLayoutParams) image.getLayoutParams();
marginParams.setMargins(left, top, right, bottom);

Kevin's code creates redundant MarginLayoutParams object. Simpler version:
ImageView image = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.main_image);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams lp = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(image.getLayoutParams());
lp.setMargins(50, 100, 0, 0);
image.setLayoutParams(lp);

If you want to change imageview margin but leave all other margins intact.
Get MarginLayoutParameters of your image view in this case: myImageView
MarginLayoutParams marginParams = (MarginLayoutParams) myImageView.getLayoutParams();
Now just change the margin you want to change but leave the others as they are:
marginParams.setMargins(marginParams.leftMargin,
marginParams.topMargin,
150, //notice only changing right margin
marginParams.bottomMargin);

I use simply this and works great:
ImageView imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image_id);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = (RelativeLayout.LayoutParams) imageView.getLayoutParams();
layoutParams.setMargins(left, top, right, bottom);
imageView.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
setMargins()'s unit is pixel not dp. If you want to set margin in dp, just inside your values/dimens.xml file create your dimensions like:
<resources>
<dimen name="right">16dp</dimen>
<dimen name="left">16dp</dimen>
</resources>
and access like:
getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.right);

If you use kotlin, this can be simplified by creating an extension function
fun View.setMarginExtensionFunction(left: Int, top: Int, right: Int, bottom: Int) {
val params = layoutParams as ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams
params.setMargins(left, top, right, bottom)
layoutParams = params
}
Now all you need is a view, and this extension function can be used anywhere.
val imageView = findViewById(R.id.imageView)
imageView.setMarginExtensionFunction(0, 0, 0, 0)

You can use this method, in case you want to specify margins in dp:
private void addMarginsInDp(View view, int leftInDp, int topInDp, int rightInDp, int bottomInDp) {
DisplayMetrics dm = view.getResources().getDisplayMetrics();
LinearLayout.LayoutParams lp = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
lp.setMargins(convertDpToPx(leftInDp, dm), convertDpToPx(topInDp, dm), convertDpToPx(rightInDp, dm), convertDpToPx(bottomInDp, dm));
view.setLayoutParams(lp);
}
private int convertDpToPx(int dp, DisplayMetrics displayMetrics) {
float pixels = TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, dp, displayMetrics);
return Math.round(pixels);
}

Answer from 2020 year :
dependencies {
implementation "androidx.core:core-ktx:1.2.0"
}
and cal it simply in your code
view.updateLayoutParams<ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams> {
setMargins(5)
}

create layout dynamically and set its parameter as setmargin() will not work directly on an imageView
ImageView im;
im = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.your_image_in_XML_by_id);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams layout = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(im.getLayoutParams());
layout.setMargins(counter*27, 0, 0, 0);//left,right,top,bottom
im.setLayoutParams(layout);
im.setImageResource(R.drawable.yourimage)

For me this worked:
int imgCarMarginRightPx = (int)TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, definedValueInDp, res.getDisplayMetrics());
MarginLayoutParams lp = (MarginLayoutParams) imgCar.getLayoutParams();
lp.setMargins(0,0,imgCarMarginRightPx,0);
imgCar.setLayoutParams(lp);

sample code is here ,its very easy
LayoutParams params1 = (LayoutParams)twoLetter.getLayoutParams();//twoletter-imageview
params1.height = 70;
params1.setMargins(0, 210, 0, 0);//top margin -210 here
twoLetter.setLayoutParams(params1);//setting layout params
twoLetter.setImageResource(R.drawable.oo);

In Kotlin you can write it in more pleasant way
myView.layoutParams = LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
RadioGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, RadioGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT
).apply {
setMargins(12, 12, 12, 12)
}

Using a method similar to this might save you some headaches in some situations.
If you have two passes of programmatical tinkering with margins it is safer to check if there are already some layoutParams set. If there are some margins already one should increase them and not replace them:
public void addMargins(View v, int left, int top, int right, int bottom) {
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = (LinearLayout.LayoutParams) v.getLayoutParams();
if (params == null)
params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
int oldLeft = params.leftMargin;
int oldTop = params.topMargin;
int oldRight = params.rightMargin;
int oldBottom = params.bottomMargin;
params.setMargins(oldLeft + left, oldTop + top, oldRight + right, oldBottom + bottom);
v.setLayoutParams(params);
}

Here is an example to add 8px Margin on left, top, right, bottom.
ImageView imageView = new ImageView(getApplicationContext());
ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams marginLayoutParams = new ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams(
ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT
);
marginLayoutParams.setMargins(8, 8, 8, 8);
imageView.setLayoutParams(marginLayoutParams);

We can create Linear LayoutParams & use resources.getDimensionPixelSize for dp value.
val mContext = parent.context
val mImageView = AppCompatImageView(mContext)
mImageView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.payment_method_selector)
val height = mContext.resources.getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.payment_logo_height)
val width = mContext.resources.getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.payment_logo_width)
val padding = mContext.resources.getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.spacing_small_tiny)
val margin = mContext.resources.getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.spacing_small)
mImageView.layoutParams = LinearLayout.LayoutParams(width, height).apply {
setMargins(margin, margin, 0, 0)
}
mImageView.setPadding(padding, padding, padding, padding)
