Answer 1

Instead of padding, change the margin.

edit: here, let me do it for you.

LinearLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
LinearLayout.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
layoutParams.setMargins(30, 20, 30, 0); // margins as you wish

TextView myTextView = findViewById(R.id.text_particularlatestnewstitle);
myTextView.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
