                </ListView>
            </LinearLayout>
        </LinearLayout>         
     </FrameLayout>  

</LinearLayout>

Answer 1

   layout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.layoutbtnlinear_aboutme);
   LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = (LinearLayout.LayoutParams)layout.getLayoutParams();
   params.setMargins(0, 50, 0, 0); 
   layout.setLayoutParams(params);
