3. Table layout In a table layout, as the name suggests, all the controls are arranged  into rows and columns. Why Table layout? Table layouts can be used for displaying tabular data or neatly aligning screen contents in a way similar to an HTML table on a web page. It organizes user interface controls, or widgets, on the screen in neatly defined rows and columns. 10/11/12

4. Create layout XML Create new android project [File >> New >> Android Project] with project name TableLayout Click next and select target android device version [I chose version 2.3] Click next and enter package name – ‘ com.calicut.TableLayout ’ Click finish 10/11/12

5. By default main.xml will be created (can be found under /res/layout folder) when you create new project and the same is set as layout for the application using  setContentView ( R.layout.main ) method. Check the onCreate method in TableLayoutExample class to know about how the layout xml is set: 10/11/12

6. package com.calicut.tablelayout ; import android.app.Activity ; import android.os.Bundle ; public class TableLayoutActivity extends Activity { /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate (Bundle savedInstanceState ) { super.onCreate ( savedInstanceState ); setContentView ( R.layout.main ); }} 10/11/12
