Android add linearLayout to tableRow programmatically

Question

I'm populating a tableLayout programmatically. I want that my row are like this

<TableRow android:id="@+id/tableRow1"
                        android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
                        <ImageView android:src="@drawable/icon" android:id="@+id/imageView1"
                            android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="wrap_content"></ImageView>
                        <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/linearLayout2"
                            android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                            android:orientation="vertical">
                            <TextView android:id="@+id/textView2" android:text="TextView"
                                android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="wrap_content"></TextView>
                            <TextView android:text="TextView" android:id="@+id/textView1"
                                android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"></TextView>
                        </LinearLayout>
                        <Button android:text="Button" android:id="@+id/button1"
                            android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"></Button>
                    </TableRow>

I've tried it by code doing this

TableRow row = new TableRow(activity);
      row.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
      row.setLayoutParams(new TableRow.LayoutParams(TableRow.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,TableRow.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));


      image.setPadding(10, 10, 10, 10);       
      ((LinearLayout) image).setGravity(Gravity.LEFT);
      row.addView(image);

      LinearLayout main = new LinearLayout(row.getContext());
     main.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
      main.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);


      TextView nameView = new TextView(activity);

      if(name.length() > 22)
          nameView.setText(name.substring(0, 22)+"...");
      else
          nameView.setText(name);

      nameView.setPadding(10, 10, 10, 10);
      nameView.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#83be56"));
      nameView.setTypeface(null,Typeface.BOLD);
      nameView.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));

      main.addView(nameView,new LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));

      row.addView(main);

      bt.setText("Respond");
      bt.setPadding(10,10,10,10);
      bt.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);

      row.addView(bt);

But the linearlayout doesn't appear in the row. Where i'm going wrong?? thanks

Solution

You might have a look at this SO answer, which explains how you can programmatically create a TableRow, inflating it from a partial XML definition.

EDIT, after comments: The gist of linked answer is:

• Create a partial layout representing the table row, with its own style set:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TableRow xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  style="@style/tr_withborder" />

• Dynamically inflate the partial via code:

TableRow tr = (TableRow) getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.partial_table_row, null);
