Please post your code of xml file and the java where you inflating it – Lesalesak

As you have mentioned that you are having 2 textviews per table row, then i would suggest you to implement a ListView with custom adapter. – Tatianatatianas

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <TextView xmlns:android="schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="400dip" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center" android:layout_margin="2dip" android:background="#000000" android:textColor="@color/white" /> – Orb

Answer 1

1. First declare your inflater.

   LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)getApplicationContext().getSystemService
     (Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
   

2. Identify and inflate the new view you seek to project on the current view.

   View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.new_layout,null);
   

3. You would want to add your new inflated view to your layout.

   main.addView(view);
   

You can reference additional information here: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/LayoutInflater.html

Update May 2019 (Kotlin): This is how you would inflate a view from XML in Kotlin. this is referring to an activity.

val view = this.layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.dialog_upgrade, null)
mainLayout.addView(view)

Answer 2

LayoutInflater li = LayoutInflater.from(getApplicationContext());
View cv = li.inflate(R.layout.your_layout, null);

mainlayout.addView(cv);

how to get mainLayout? We are setting setContentView(layout) in onCreate() – Orb

mainlayout will be your tableLayout instance in your case – Balcom

yeah I got your point and did the same way.. I can get the View Component [TextView] in screen but applying only bg and text color and not the layout properties as I given in the above comment – Orb

you can layout param to apply width,height, and margin – Balcom

I done with that but I m not able to get the textview components with right spacing – Orb
