Android loading data to a table layout in run-time

Question

In my Android app I have to display data taken from a db in a table layout. I get the data and when I adding TableRaws to the Table it gives an Null-pointer. I properly instantiate the elements in the table and I cant figure out the error. My code snippet is as below....

TableLayout tbl=(TableLayout) findViewById(R.id.dpl_tbl_lst);

        if(!retailersList.isEmpty()){

            //TableRow Hedding=(TableRow) findViewById(R.id.dpl_tbl_hdr);
            //tbl.addView(Hedding);

            for(int i=0;i<retailersList.size();i++){

                Retailer RtlIns=retailersList.get(i);


                TableRow tbl_rw=(TableRow) findViewById(R.id.dpl_tbr_cnt);

                TextView sequence, custommerName, city, status;
                sequence=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.dpl_txt_seq);
                custommerName=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.dpl_txt_cus_nm);
                city=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.dpl_txt_cty);
                status=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.dpl_txt_sts);

                sequence.setText(RtlIns.getPosition());
                custommerName.setText(RtlIns.getName());
                city.setText(RtlIns.getCity());
                status.setText(RtlIns.getStatus());

                tbl_rw.addView(sequence);
                tbl_rw.addView(custommerName);
                tbl_rw.addView(city);
                tbl_rw.addView(status);


                tbl.addView(tbl_rw);}

And my table layout is as below.....

<TableLayout
            android:id="@+id/dpl_tbl_lst"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent" >

            <TableRow
                android:id="@+id/dpl_tbl_hdr"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

                <TextView

                    android:text="@string/list_cust_name"
                    android:textColor="@color/white"
                    android:textSize="@dimen/normal_text"
                    android:textStyle="bold" />

                <TextView
                    android:layout_width="@dimen/cell_width_2"
                    android:layout_height="@dimen/cell_h_h"
                    android:background="@drawable/cell_shape"
                    android:padding="@dimen/cell_pdn"
                    android:text="@string/list_city"
                    android:textColor="@color/white"
                    android:textSize="@dimen/normal_text"
                    android:textStyle="bold" />

                <TextView
                    android:layout_width="@dimen/cell_width_1"
                    android:layout_height="@dimen/cell_h_h"
                    android:background="@drawable/cell_shape"
                    android:padding="@dimen/cell_pdn"
                    android:text="@string/list_status"
                    android:textColor="@color/white"
                    android:textSize="@dimen/normal_text"
                    android:textStyle="bold" />
            </TableRow>


        </TableLayout>

// try this way i gave simple demo but you have use your data rather my static data..
1. **table.xml**
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/dpl_tbl_lst"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">
</TableLayout>
2.**table_row.xml**
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TableRow  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/dpl_tbl_hdr"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/dpl_txt_seq"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="asd"/>

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/dpl_txt_cus_nm"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="asd"/>

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/dpl_txt_cty"
