How can I set ViewPager layoutParams programmatically?

Question

I have the following code but I get an exception

java.lang.ClassCastException: android.support.v4.view.ViewPager$LayoutParams cannot be cast to android.view.ViewGroup$MarginLayoutParams

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.question_details_full_photo_view_pager);
    Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();
    ArrayList<String> imageUrls = bundle.getStringArrayList("imageUrls");
    ImagePagerAdapter imagePagerAdapter = new ImagePagerAdapter(this, imageUrls, true);
    
    android.support.v4.view.ViewPager viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.view_pager_full_photo);
    
    
    android.support.v4.view.ViewPager.LayoutParams layoutParams = new LayoutParams();
    layoutParams.width = LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT;
    layoutParams.height = LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT;
    viewPager.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
    
    
    viewPager.setAdapter(imagePagerAdapter);
}

A quick solution can be (but not necessairly) to set: instead `android.support.v4.view.ViewPager.LayoutParams layoutParams = new LayoutParams();` -> to `android.support.v4.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams layoutParams = new LayoutParams();` — g00dy, Jul 24 '13 at 10:49

You really shouldn't be setting the layout params programmatically just for setting up width and height to "match_parent": this could easily be done using fundamental xml declarations.

If however there's something more advanced you need that you didn't specify - such as adjusting margins or adding views dynamically, consider wrapping the ViewPager with a layout matching your case. For example:

<RelativeLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
        android:id="@+id/view_pager_full_photo"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

</RelativeLayout>

In this case, to adjust margins (for example):

ViewPager pager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.view_pager_full_photo);
ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams lp = (ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams) pager.getLayoutParams();
lp.topMargin += TOP_MARGIN_HEIGHT_PX;

etc.

Note that in this case the layout params returned by the call to pager.getLayoutParams() are those of the wrapping RelativeLayout - which could be more easily manipulated to your fit your needs.

This is because you misunderstood the LayoutParams in this context : setting the layout params of your ViewPager will layout it out in its parent which is a ViewGroup. You have therefore to pass an instance of ViewGroup.LayoutParams.
If you want rather to lay out a component in your ViewPager, you have to set the layout params of the child with an instance of ViewPager.LayoutParams

ViewGroup.layoutParams also throws the same exception. it seems to be expecting android.view.ViewGroup$MarginLayoutParams but there is no such thing – 124697 Jul 24 '13 at 11:10
@code578841441 there is [http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams.html](http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams.html) You need to use the LayoutParam from `ViewPager`'s parent not the `ViewPager` itself. And I just forgot this.. :) – Zyoo May 06 '14 at 17:37

val pager = findViewById(R.id.view_pager);

val params = CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams(CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT); params.setMargins(44, 44, 44, 44); pager.layoutParams = params
