Android TableLayout in Kotlin

Android TableLayout is a ViewGroup subclass which is used to display the child View elements in rows and columns. It will arrange all the children elements into rows and columns and does not display any border lines in between rows, columns or cells.

The working of TableLayout is almost similar to HTML table and it contains as many columns as row with the most cells.

How to declare TableLayout and TableRow?

The TableLayout can be defined using <TableLayout> like below:



filter_none

edit
close

play_arrow

link
brightness_4
code

<TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
    android:paddingLeft="5dp"
    android:paddingRight="5dp">
   
    // Add Table rows here
</TableLayout>

chevron_right






                        filter_none








and TableRow can be defined using











                                    filter_none




                                    edit

                                    close




                                    play_arrow




                                    link

                                    brightness_4

                                    code
                                




















<TableRow android:background="#51B435" android:padding="10dp"> 


        <TextView 


            android:layout_width="wrap_content"


            android:layout_height="wrap_content"


            android:layout_weight="1"


            android:text="Rank" /> 


</TableRow>

                        filter_none








activity_main.xml file


In this file, we declare the TableLayout and start adding table rows with the help of TableRow. We are creating ranking table of players where we define four columns Rank, Name, Country and Points. 


The code for the Table is:













                                    filter_none




                                    edit

                                    close




                                    play_arrow




                                    link

                                    brightness_4

                                    code

MainActivity.kt


When we have created layout, we need to load the XML layout resource from our activity onCreate() callback method and access the UI element form the XML using findViewById.
