View.setPadding accepts only in px, is there anyway to setPadding in dp?

Question

Android function View.setPadding(int left, int top, int right, int bottom) only accepts values in px but I want to set padding in dp. Is there any way around it?

Answer 1

Straight to code

int padding_in_dp = 6;  // 6 dps final float scale = getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density; int padding_in_px = (int) (padding_in_dp * scale + 0.5f);
