Command and Property order for "Margin" and "Padding" in Android XML

Question

Lets say you have an ImageView or a Button in an Andriod ConstraintLayout.

I know you can set the "Margin" & "Padding" properties in XML individually with:

android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="25dp"
android:layout_marginStart="20dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="10dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"

android:paddingStart="1dp"
android:paddingTop="2dp"
android:paddingEnd="3dp"
android:paddingBottom="4dp"

But can you set them all with just one line? E.g.

android:layout_margin="15,25,20,10"
android:padding="1,2,3,4"

And in what order would the properties then come?

Top, Bottom, Left(Start), Right(End)?
Left(Start), Top, Right(End), Bottom?

No in XML you cannot set them all in one line. But you can do that programmatically like this
