B4X:

dialog.Title = "Add/Edit Step Data"

    p.Left = 10dip
    p.Top  = 10dip

SetLayoutAnimated length and width operate.

If you are looking for a way to position the dialog then take a look at message #4 from @LucaMs in this thread:

I do not see any AddView.
You must add the new created Panel onto a parent view.
