Question:

I have the following code, which tries to set the margin:

TableRow tr = new TableRow(this); TableLayout.LayoutParams tableRowParams= new TableLayout.LayoutParams (TableLayout.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,TableLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT); int leftMargin=20; int topMargin=50; int rightMargin=0; int bottomMargin=50; tableRowParams.setMargins(leftMargin, topMargin, rightMargin, bottomMargin); tr.setLayoutParams(tableRowParams); TextView name = new TextView(this); name.setText(Html.fromHtml(venues.get(j).name + "<br><br>" + venues.get(j).getFullAddress()));

However this doesn't set the margin. What am I doing wrong here?

Edit. Whoops, my bad, TableLayout.LayoutParams is fine. Use TableRow.LayoutParams on the children of the TableRow.

I just ran this code (which is, for the most part, your code) and the margin sets correctly

TableRow tr = new TableRow(this); TableLayout.LayoutParams tableRowParams= new TableLayout.LayoutParams (TableLayout.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,TableLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT); int leftMargin=100; int topMargin=50; int rightMargin=0; int bottomMargin=50; tableRowParams.setMargins(leftMargin, topMargin, rightMargin, bottomMargin); tr.setLayoutParams(tableRowParams); TextView tv = new TextView(this); tv.setText("EXAMPLE ROW"); TableRow.LayoutParams textParams = new TableRow.LayoutParams(TableRow.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, TableRow.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT); tv.setLayoutParams(textParams); tr.addView(tv); tlayout.addView(tr);

isn't it like so?

TableRow tr = new TableRow(Activity.this)

And I thik you'll nee a table for that row too.

Why not go for XML ?

<TableRow android:id="@+id/tr1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> </TableRow>
