Setting margin in layout params will not work in Alertdialog. you have to set padding in parent layout and then add edittext in that layout.

This is my working kotlin code...

val alert =  AlertDialog.Builder(context!!)

val edittext = EditText(context!!)
edittext.hint = "Enter Name"
edittext.maxLines = 1

val layout = FrameLayout(context!!)

//set padding in parent layout
layout.setPaddingRelative(45,15,45,0)

alert.setTitle(title)

layout.addView(edittext)

alert.setView(layout)

alert.setPositiveButton(getString(R.string.label_save), DialogInterface.OnClickListener {

    dialog, which ->
    run {

        val qName = edittext.text.toString()

        Utility.hideKeyboard(context!!, dialogView!!)

    }

})
alert.setNegativeButton(getString(R.string.label_cancel), DialogInterface.OnClickListener {

            dialog, which ->
            run {
                dismiss()
            }

})

alert.show()
