Programmatically set margin to ConstraintLayout

I need to change margin of toolbar, which was made of ConstraintLayout, in different cases. I tried to do it in following way 

ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams newLayoutParams = new ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams(ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
ConstraintLayout.MarginLayoutParams layoutParams = new ConstraintLayout.MarginLayoutParams(newLayoutParams);
layoutParams.setMargins(0, 0, 0, 0);
toolbar.setLayoutParams(newLayoutParams);

but in second case layoutParams.setMargins(16, 16, 16, 16); it did not change. So, can someone give other way or point to the mistake. Thanks for spending time to my problem.

I tried to use newLayoutParams.setMargins(54, 54, 54, 0); this puts margin to left and right, but I still need to put margin on top of it.

Solution

  • Finally with help of @Aksh I found my mistake and solve my problem. If someone find it useful, I will put my code bellow 

         ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams newLayoutParams = (ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams) toolbar.getLayoutParams();
     newLayoutParams.topMargin = 0;
     newLayoutParams.leftMargin = 0;
     newLayoutParams.rightMargin = 0;
     toolbar.setLayoutParams(newLayoutParams);
