Question

Android 2.3.3

I have a table, where in I have 12 columns and arbitrary number of rows. I am using the TableLayout for the first time. I have seen few examples and written a code(Not much of it). Just to populate a row with 12 columns dynamically. But I am getting an exception.. Here are the details..

Java file :::

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TableLayout;
import android.widget.TableRow;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class Portfolio extends Activity{

    TableLayout tblPorfolio;
    TableRow trScript;
    TextView txtV;

    String[] dummy = {"1","12345","XYZABC","10000","10000","10000","10000","10000","10000","10000","10000","10000","10000"};

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.activity_portfolio);

        tblPorfolio = (TableLayout) findViewById(R.id.tableLayoutPorfolio);

        trScript = new TableRow(this);

        dummy();

    }

    private void dummy() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        int i = 0;
        txtV = new TextView(this);
        while(i < dummy.length)
        {

            txtV.setText(dummy[i]);
            trScript.addView(txtV);

            i++;
        }

        tblPorfolio.addView(trScript);
        setContentView(R.id.tableLayoutPorfolio);
    }
}

I have to display 12 columns in one row and some N number of such rows. All these values will be retrieved from Database and populated.

Can some one let me know, what I am doing wrong (If I was doing anything right in the first place)?

Answer 1

Delete this line:

setContentView(R.id.tableLayoutPorfolio);

Because if you want to do something likt this, you need to create a layoutinflater and inflate it before you can set it as a parameter of setContentView(view).
