Android TableLayout

TableLayout: 

By seeing the word ‘Table’ itself we know that Table Layout is used to show views in a table format with rows & columns.

How to add rows in a table layout?

• TableRow is used to add rows in a table layout.
• TableRow is a layout. It will arrange its children horizontally. If the table row parent is not table layout, then it will work like a horizontal linear layout.
• Each TableRow will define a single row in table. (If we create 10 TableRows it will define 10 rows in a table).

How to add columns in a table layout?

• We can use any view to add a column in TableRow.
• We can add multiple columns by adding multiple views in a TableRow.
