I am trying to dynamically add rows to a table in the fragment. However, I am facing some run-time error and seriously in need of some advice.

Answer 1

Change this

TableLayout tl=(TableLayout) getActivity().findViewById(R.id.mainLayout);

to

TableLayout tl=(TableLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.mainLayout);

This is one mistake which avoids NullPointerException.

And use getActivity() to initialize views. To know why read

When to call activity context OR application context?

Answer 2

I had the same issue, and it was because I passed the application context instead of the activity context.

        TableRow tr = new TableRow(getActivity());

        TextView textview1 = new TextView(getActivity());
        textview1.setText("unhappy");
        tr.addView(textview1);

        TextView textview2 = new TextView(getActivity());
        textview2.setText("happy");
        tr.addView(textview2);
