Answer 1

you can only give integer values to layout parameters

source : http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/LinearLayout.LayoutParams.html

No matter what the layout is you can never give a float value.

“dip” or “dp” or “dps” - Density-independent Pixels my friend which means you can't divide a fraction into another fraction.

pixels = dps * (density / 160).

For example, on 240 dpi screen, 1 dp would equal 1.5 physical pixels.

Answer 2

According to this reference you can use decimal places for views:

android:layout_height and android:layout_width - May be a dimension value, which is a floating point number appended with a unit such as "14.5sp".
