Cannot set style to LinearLayout programmatically

Question

I'm trying to set style to programmatically created LinearLayout this way:

(Reference: Android: set view style programmatically)

LinearLayout linearLayout = new LinearLayout(this, null, R.style.linear_container);

And styles.xml

<style name="linear_container">
    <item name="android:layout_width">match_parent</item>
    <item name="android:layout_height">wrap_content</item>
    <item name="android:layout_marginBottom">20dp</item>
    <item name="android:background">#9B1212</item>
    <item name="android:orientation">vertical</item>
</style>

But style is not applied how to make it work?

so how can i add margin to the item programmatically? i tried many solutions but nothing worked for me. would you help me with this please? — PHP User, Mar 17 '19 at 13:56

you can set layout params as below:

    LinearLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
         LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);

    layoutParams.setMargins(10, 10, 10, 10);
    linearLayout.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);

An easier way to set your styles programmatically would be to use the paris library from Airbnb. After implementing the library correctly it's as easy as

myView.style(R.style.MyStyle)
