Method Detail

setMargin

void setMargin(boolean enabled)

Enable layout margins. Affects all four sides of the layout. This will tell the client-side implementation to leave extra space around the layout. The client-side implementation decides the actual amount, and it can vary between themes.

               boolean right,
               boolean bottom,
               boolean left)

Enable specific layout margins. This will tell the client-side implementation to leave extra space around the layout in specified edges, clockwise from top (top, right, bottom, left). The client-side implementation decides the actual amount, and it can vary between themes.

Parameters:
