Get android:padding attribute programmatically

Question

From a view, how can I get the value of the android:padding attribute programmatically? I am currently using:

private static final String ANDROID_NAMESPACE = \"h         


        

Answer 1

You can just add the android:padding to your custom view's attributes.

    ...
    
    ...

And then, you can access the attribute just like your other attributes:

TypedArray a = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, R.styleable.ActivityWrapperView);
float padding = a.getDimension(R.styleable.ActivityWrapperView_android_padding, 0);
...
boolean hasPadding = a.hasValue(R.styleable.ActivityWrapperView_android_padding);
