Set negative margin on View programmatically

I know how to set margins of a View programmatically with LinearLayout.LayoutParams and the method setMargins(int, int, int, int) but how can I put a negative margin on a view?

Using math seems to trick it enough for me.

 ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams params =
     (ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams)view.getLayoutParams();
 params.topMargin = 100 - 200;   // -100

Access the layout params for your parent layout and modify them as you like:

 ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams params =
         (ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams)view.getLayoutParams();
 params.topMargin = ...; // etc
 // or
 params.setMargins(...);

After you've modified the layout, call view.requestLayout().
