First change your XML file to:

   <FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

    <TableLayout
        android:id="@+id/tlMarksTable"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

    </TableLayout>
    </FrameLayout>

We’ll add all the content dynamically.

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
{
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    List<String>competitoinsIDs = new LinkedList<String>();
    List<String>marks = new LinkedList<String>();
    List<String>numOfQuestions = new LinkedList<String>();

 //make sure that the lists contain data or else display will be blank screen

    TableRow.LayoutParams  params1=new TableRow.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,1.0f);
    TableRow.LayoutParams params2=new TableRow.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
    TableLayout tbl=(TableLayout) findViewById(R.id.tlMarksTable);
    for(int ctr=0;ctr<marks.size();ctr++)
    {
    //Creating new tablerows and textviews
    TableRow row=new TableRow(this);
    TextView txt1=new TextView(this);
    TextView txt2=new TextView(this);
    TextView txt3=new TextView(this);
    //setting the text
    txt1.setText(competitoinsIDs.get(ctr));
    txt2.setText(marks.get(ctr));
    txt3.setText(numOfQuestions.get(ctr));
    txt1.setLayoutParams(params1);
    txt2.setLayoutParams(params1);
    txt3.setLayoutParams(params1);
    //the textviews have to be added to the row created
    row.addView(txt1);
    row.addView(txt2);
    row.addView(txt3);
    row.setLayoutParams(params2);
    tbl.addView(row);
    }

}
