nullPointerException in multi column list

Question

I already tried references from similar question on SO, but hasn't got the appropriate solution.

I'm trying to fetch the data from a webpage and display it in format consisting of rows having 4 columns.

Data present on webpage:

SBIN ;1916.00;1886.85;1.54@LT ;1315.50;1310.30;0.40@TCS ;1180.00;1178.00;0.17@AXISBANK ;1031.30;1005.95;2.52@MARUTI ;1000.35;992.35;0.81@PNB ;931.90;916.35;1.70@GAIL ;400.00;398.45;0.39@

I want to diaplay it in the form

SBIN.........1916.00.....1886.85.....1.54

LT...........1315.50.....1310.30.....0.40  and so on. 

Note that I don't want dots, I want each value to be a separate column within a row.

My Data consists of 7 rows.

When I run the below code, I get this output i.e.

 values[0]   values[1]   values[2]   values[3]

 values[1]   values[2]   values[3]   values[4]

 values[2]   values[3]   values[4]   values[5]

(It prints all 4 cols of 1st row, then col 2-4 of 1st row and col1 of 2nd row, then cols 3-4 of 1st row and col 1-2 of 2nd row and so on...)

ANY HELP APPRICIATED

Answer 1

Try using ListView

Instead of TableLayout add ListView to your xml and place the content on table in new xml Create an adapter by extending ArrayAdapter and set this adapter on your listView.

Answer 2

Don't add the views in your Java code, as they are added based on your XML file. It looks to me like your Java code is duplicating what you did in XML which is very precarious...

I don't see why you can't just remove the Java code and use setContentView to use the XML layout you defined.

Answer 3

Set the width to 0, and add weight as 1 for all the testviews, it will evenly assign space for every item in the row.

    textView1.setWidth(0);
    textView1.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, 1f));
