[android-developers] Re: how to set margin or padding between buttons

The solution was roughly like this -

Button button = (Button)layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.my_button,
null);
button.setText("foobar");
TableRow.LayoutParams blp = new TableRow.LayoutParams();
blp.leftMargin = buttonMarginDips;
button.setLayoutParams(blp);
