Tablelayout - Android - Error in Adding Table Layout Dynamically - Stack Overflow

The document is a Stack Overflow post discussing errors encountered when dynamically adding a table layout to an Android XML file programmatically. The original poster receives errors when setting layout parameters and finds changing the parameter type from TableLayout.LayoutParams to FrameLayout.LayoutParams resolves the issue, but does not display anything. Another responder suggests also adding each row to the table after creation to properly display the content. When trying to add multiple rows in a loop, the poster then receives an error that the child view already has a parent, requiring removing it first before adding again.
