Apps Android: calling setPadding() on a view doesn't work when I also set the layoutParams on the view

[Meeks91]

If I call setPadding() on a view, I can successfully set the padding, however, if I first set the layoutParams and then the padding, or set the padding and then set the layoutParams, the padding is not applied.

Demonstration:

//This doesn't work
textView.setLayoutParams(linearLayoutParams);
textView.setPadding(0, 100, 0 , 0);

//This doesn't work either
testView.setPadding(0, 100, 0 , 0);
textView.setLayoutParams(linearLayoutParams);

//This does work
textView.setPadding(0, 100, 0 , 0);​

Does anyone know how to use setLayoutParams() and setPadding() at the same time, or why setLayoutParams() is stopping setPadding() from working?

You'll get a better answer in our Application Development forum, as described in the sticky thread http://androidforums.com/threads/developers-please-read-this-before-posting-in-here.904569/

I'll move the question over there.
