How to refer to TableLayout cells in code - android

I have a TableLayout defined in my xml with three columns and four rows plus a heading row.
Each column contains a TextView.
<TableLayout
android:id="#+id/inventory"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:stretchColumns="*"
<TableRow>
<TextView
android:text="Item"/>
<TextView
android:text="Quantity"/>
<TextView
android:text="Units"/>
</TableRow>
<TableRow>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/inventorycell10"
<TextView
android:id="#+id/inventorycell11"
<TextView
android:id="#+id/inventorycell12"
</TableRow>
<TableRow>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/inventorycell20"
<TextView
android:id="#+id/inventorycell21"
<TextView
android:id="#+id/inventorycell22"
</TableRow>
<TableRow>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/inventorycell30"
<TextView
android:id="#+id/inventorycell31"
<TextView
android:id="#+id/inventorycell32"
</TableRow>
<TableRow>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/inventorycell40"
<TextView
android:id="#+id/inventorycell41"
<TextView
android:id="#+id/inventorycell42"
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
Is there any way of referring to the TextViews in code, without having to id them individually. I was thinking there might be come way of getting row/col views from the tableview.

You can use ViewGroup#getChildAt and ViewGroup#getChildCount. getChildAt on your root TableLayout will allow you to get the TableRows and subsequently calling it on the TableRows will allow you to access the TextViews.

I liked marmor's way of solving this. I modified it somewhat for my own project. I use it to filter out all the textviews of a tablelayout regardless of the number of columns or rows. Here is the code:
TableLayout tableLayout = getView().findViewById(R.id.tableStats);
ArrayList<TextView> textViews = new ArrayList<>();
for(int i = 0; i < tableLayout.getChildCount(); i++){
TableRow tableRow = (TableRow) tableLayout.getChildAt(i);
for(int j = 0; j < tableRow.getChildCount(); j++){
View tempView = tableRow.getChildAt(j);
if(tempView instanceof TextView){
textViews.add((TextView) tempView);
}
}
}

Assuming you have the same number of columns for each row,
this simple method should do the trick:
private View getCellAtPos(TableLayout table, int pos) {
TableRow row = (TableRow) table.getChildAt(pos / NUMBER_OF_COLUMNS);
return row.getChildAt(pos % NUMBER_OF_COLUMNS);
}

Android XML vs code tablelayout differences

I want to use code to generate a very large TableLayout. XML works great but the file is getting huge and making changes would be tedious down the road. The final layout will have a HorizontalScrollview on the right but my problem is best illustrated as follows.
The XML file is this.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<TableLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<TableRow
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Table 1"/></TableRow>
<TableRow
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Table 1"/></TableRow>
</TableLayout>
<TableLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<TableRow
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Table 2"/></TableRow>
<TableRow
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Table 2"/></TableRow>
</TableLayout>
</LinearLayout>
this outputs like this (sorry, can't post screenshot)
Table 1 Table 2
Table 1 Table 2
When I use code this this
LinearLayout ll = new LinearLayout(this);
ll.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
TableLayout table1 = new TableLayout(this);
table1.setLayoutParams(new TableLayout.LayoutParams(TableLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,TableLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));
for (int x = 0;x < 2;x++) {
TableRow row = new TableRow(this);
row.setLayoutParams(new TableRow.LayoutParams(TableRow.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,TableRow.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
TextView tv = new TextView(this);
tv.setLayoutParams(new TableRow.LayoutParams(TableRow.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,TableRow.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
tv.setText("Table 1");
row.addView(tv);
table1.addView(row);
}
TableLayout table2 = new TableLayout(this);
table2.setLayoutParams(new TableLayout.LayoutParams(TableLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,TableLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));
for (int x = 0;x < 2;x++) {
TableRow row = new TableRow(this);
row.setLayoutParams(new TableRow.LayoutParams(TableRow.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,TableRow.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
TextView tv = new TextView(this);
tv.setLayoutParams(new TableRow.LayoutParams(TableRow.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,TableRow.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
tv.setText("Table 2");
row.addView(tv);
table2.addView(row);
}
ll.addView(table1);
ll.addView(table2);
setContentView(ll);
it shows output like
Table 1
Table 1
I lose the second tablelayout. How can I change the code style to view that second tablelayout?
I didn't find out why the second table doesn't work in code but I was able to fix my problem by
Setting up the LinearLayout and the TableLayouts in XML.
Then referencing the TableLayouts and adding the TableRows in code.

Incorrect order for layouts inside a TableRow

My code is as below and the result is like in the image. Any idea how to move the "test" to the back and "check", "session", "set" to in front? I thought the layout will follow the sequence to display, I have no idea why it doesn't follow the sequence and moves "test" in front.
TableRow.LayoutParams rowParams2 = new TableRow.LayoutParams(TableRow.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, TableRow.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
TableRow trNew1 = (TableRow) findViewById(R.id.tr13);
TextView textView18 = new TextView(this);
textView18.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
textView18.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.cell_shape);
textView18.setText("Check");
textView18.setLayoutParams(rowParams2);
trNew1.addView(textView18,0);
TextView textView19 = new TextView(this);
textView19.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
textView19.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.cell_shape);
textView19.setText("Session");
textView19.setLayoutParams(rowParams2);
trNew1.addView(textView19,1);
TextView textView20 = new TextView(this);
textView20.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
textView20.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.cell_shape);
textView20.setText("Set");
textView20.setLayoutParams(rowParams2);
trNew1.addView(textView20,2);
TextView textView7 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tv);
//TableRow.LayoutParams params = (TableRow.LayoutParams)textView7.getLayoutParams();
rowParams2.span = 6;
textView7.setLayoutParams(rowParams2);
The xml part:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:padding="10dp"
android:stretchColumns="*">
<TableRow
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/tr13"
>
<TableLayout
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginRight="4dp"
android:id="#+id/tl"
android:background="#drawable/cell_shape"
android:stretchColumns="*">
<TableRow
android:background="#drawable/cell_shape"
android:id="#+id/tr4"
>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:text="Test" />
</TableRow>
<TableRow
android:id="#+id/tr"
>
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
Result image:
i have no idea why it not follow the sequence and move the test in
front.
This is happening because the TableLayout containing the "Test" TextView is already in the layout and the basic addView() method takes this in consideration when adding new views. If you want a different order then use the addView() method that also takes an int representing the position of the child in the parent:
// add textView18 as the first child of the parent(initially the TableLayout tl is at position 0)
trNew1.addView(textView18, 0);
// add as the second child(positions are 0 based)
trNew1.addView(textView19, 1);
// add as the third child, at this moment the TableLayout tl will be at position 3
trNew1.addView(textView20, 2);

TableLayout error in Android

I have a XML file containing TableLayout as follows:
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp" >
<TableLayout
android:id="#+id/resulttable"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:weightSum="3" >
<TableRow
android:id="#+id/tr"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv_discription"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv_left_vehicle"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv_right_vehicle"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"/>
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
</ScrollView>
In the above table I want to show array list of string, for this I have done following code:
TableLayout table = (TableLayout) findViewById(R.id.resulttable);
for(int i=0;i<DArray.size();i++)
{
TableRow row = (TableRow)findViewById(R.id.tr);
String discription = DArray.get(i);
String leftVehicle = LArray.get(i);
String rightVehicle = RArray.get(i);
TextView tvD = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tv_discription);
tvD.setText(discription);
TextView tvlPrice = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tv_left_vehicle);
tvlPrice.setText(leftVehicle);
TextView tvrPrice = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tv_right_vehicle);
tvrPrice.setText(rightVehicle);
row.addView(tvD);
row.addView(tvlPrice);
row.addView(tvrPrice);
table.addView(row);
}
but this code is arising exception. Here is LogCat error for my code.
E/AndroidRuntime(1897): java.lang.IllegalStateException: The specified child already has a parent. You must call removeView() on the child's parent first.
I am beginner for this situation please help me find out the problem.
i think you should Try this way
TableLayout table = (TableLayout) findViewById(R.id.resulttable);
TableRow row = (TableRow)findViewById(R.id.tr);
TextView tvD = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tv_discription);
TextView tvlPrice = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tv_left_vehicle);
TextView tvrPrice = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tv_right_vehicle);
for(int i=0;i<DArray.size();i++)
{
String discription = DArray.get(i);
String leftVehicle = LArray.get(i);
String rightVehicle = RArray.get(i);
tvD.setText(discription);
tvlPrice.setText(leftVehicle);
tvrPrice.setText(rightVehicle);
row.addView(tvD);
row.addView(tvlPrice);
row.addView(tvrPrice);
table.addView(row,id);
}
Provide id for row positioning
The thing is that you added in the xml the row and then you add it again and again in the loop.
If you want to have a TableLayout and add rows on it dinamicaly then you might want to create the row with its content in another xml file and inflate that xml in the for loop and then add the row to the table.
So, lets say you have the following inside another xml called row.xml:
<TableRow
android:id="#+id/tr"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv_discription"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv_left_vehicle"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv_right_vehicle"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"/>
</TableRow>
And the TableLayout in another one (xml file):
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp" >
<TableLayout
android:id="#+id/resulttable"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:weightSum="3" >
</TableLayout>
</ScrollView>
Then you would have this in the code:
TableLayout table = (TableLayout) findViewById(R.id.resulttable);
for(int i=0; i < DArray.size(); i++){
//get the row from the xml and add it on the table at each loop step
TableRow row = getActivity().getLayoutInflater() .inflate(R.layout.row, table, true);
String discription = DArray.get(i);
String leftVehicle = LArray.get(i);
String rightVehicle = RArray.get(i);
// get the labels from the row and populate themm with data, note that you don't have to add them again as they are allready added..
TextView tvD = (TextView)row.findViewById(R.id.tv_discription);
tvD.setText(discription);
TextView tvlPrice = (TextView)row.findViewById(R.id.tv_left_vehicle);
tvlPrice.setText(leftVehicle);
TextView tvrPrice = (TextView)row.findViewById(R.id.tv_right_vehicle);
tvrPrice.setText(rightVehicle);
}
You might have to tweak the code above a bit as I wrote it from my mind and didn't tested it but that should be the trick.
Why Cant you use listview and custom adapters for this implementation?. which will make your life easier.
Okay the second potential problem is also: table.addView(row);
rowgets added every single loop iteration but it's the same view. You can only add a view once to the hierarchy. You probably want a new instance for each loop iteration. I can't say for sure but this is likely the problem. or try to add with index position in viewgroup like
table.addView(row, index);

my table dynamic layout keep appearing in the left side even the gravity is right

what i am trying to do is to make a dynamic table layout .. i mean the rows will be filled dynamically with text views and with scrolling horizontal and vertical but each time when the activity open my table layout start showing from the left side even i set the gravity to be right .. why this is happening?
this is my xml code :
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="right" >
<HorizontalScrollView
android:id="#+id/horizontalScrollView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/scrollView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<TableLayout
android:id="#+id/table1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:stretchColumns="0,1"
android:layout_gravity="right" >
<TableRow
android:id="#+id/tableRow1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="right"
android:layout_gravity="right">
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
</ScrollView>
</HorizontalScrollView>
</LinearLayout>
and here is my java code :
TableLayout ll = (TableLayout) findViewById(R.id.table1);
int razan=0;
int c=-1;
for(int s=1; s<=fixed;s++){
if(razan<=count){
for (int i = 0; i <text.length; i++) {
if(i>0 && i%7==0){
c = c+1;
TableRow row1= new TableRow(this);
TableRow.LayoutParams tr1 = new TableRow.LayoutParams(TableRow.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
row1.setLayoutParams(tr1);
TextView emptyrow = new TextView(this);
emptyrow.setText("");
// emptyrow.setBackground(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.back));
row1.addView(emptyrow);
ll.addView(row1,i);
}
TableRow row= new TableRow(this);
TableRow.LayoutParams tr = new TableRow.LayoutParams(TableRow.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
row.setLayoutParams(tr);
TextView product = new TextView(this);
TextView product_j = new TextView(this);
product_j.setText(prodlist.get(razan));
Resources res = getResources();
Drawable drawable = res.getDrawable(R.drawable.back);
product_j.setBackgroundDrawable(drawable);
product_j.setGravity(Gravity.RIGHT);
product_j.setTextSize(18);
product.setText(text[i]);
// product.setBackgroundDrawable(drawable);
product.setGravity(Gravity.RIGHT);
product.setPadding(3, 0, 3, 0);
product.setTextSize(18);
row.addView(product_j);
row.addView(product);
razan++;
ll.addView(row,i);
//here is the code for adding an empty row after each seven inner rows !!!
}//inner for
}
}//outer fors
}
can anyone help me?
Make your root LinearLayouts Height and width as match_parent and try gravity to right on your TableLayout

Order rows in TableLayout

I have TableLayout in my xml.
<TableLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/jobs_table"
android:gravity="top"
android:stretchColumns="*"
android:shrinkColumns="*"/>
<TableRow android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/monday"/>
<TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/tuesday"/>
<TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/wednesday"/>
<TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/thursday"/>
<TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/friday"/>
<TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/saturday"/>
<TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/sunday"/>
</TableRow>
Then, I add rows with buttons in Activity.
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.jobs);
tableLayout = (TableLayout) findViewById(R.id.jobs_table);
// Make some buttons here.
TableRow row = new TableRow(this);
tableLayout.addView(row, new TableRow.LayoutParams(TableRow.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, TableRow.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
When I run application, row with TextViews from XML are on the bottom and Buttons from Java code are on the top. How can I reverse them(Buttons are on the button and row with TextViews are on the top)?
I think this version of addView does what you need (with index = 0)
public void addView (View child, int
index)
Adds a child view.
If no layout parameters are already
set on the child, the default
parameters for this ViewGroup are set
on the child. Parameters
child the child view to add
index the
position at which to add the child
So, I did it as:
TextView[] days = new TextView[7];
for(int i = 0; i < 7; i++) {
days[i] = new TextView(context);
days[i].setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
row.addView(days[i]);
}
days[0].setText(R.string.monday);
days[1].setText(R.string.tuesday);
days[2].setText(R.string.wednesday);
days[3].setText(R.string.thursday);
days[4].setText(R.string.friday);
days[5].setText(R.string.saturday);
days[6].setText(R.string.sunday);
rowsWithButtons.add(row);
