Margin/Padding in percentage in XML

Question

I am new in android development. I want to set margin & padding in Xml,not in dp or px but in percentage. Is there any way to do this?

Answer 1

it is not possible, though You better do it by taking width and height of screen like below in your java code, and

 Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay(); 
 int width = display.getWidth();
 int height = display.getHeight();

then calculate your margin from screen size, and set it by

  setmargin(int x) //method of view/layout.

this way you can set margin depending on the screen size not fixed for all screen, and basically it is like setting in percentage but from Java code.
