My problem was to create a dynamic table and not hard xml-coded. So I’ve wrote a table class to create it programmatically. The created table has also borders.

TableGenerator class

public class TableGenerator {
    private final Context mContext;
    private TableLayout mTable;

    private TableLayout.LayoutParams rowParams = new TableLayout.LayoutParams();
    private TableRow.LayoutParams colParams = new TableRow.LayoutParams();

    public TableGenerator(Context context) {
        mContext = context;
        mTable = new TableLayout(context);
        rowParams.setMargins(0, 0, 0, 1);
        colParams.setMargins(0, 0, 1, 0);

        TableLayout.LayoutParams lptable = new TableLayout.LayoutParams(
                ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
                ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
        mTable.setLayoutParams(lptable);

        mTable.setStretchAllColumns(true);
        mTable.setBackgroundColor(mContext.getResources().getColor(
                R.color.table_background));
    }

    public void addRow(String[] data) {
        TableRow tr = new TableRow(mContext);
        tr.setBackgroundColor(mContext.getResources().getColor(
                R.color.table_background));

        tr.setLayoutParams(rowParams);

        for (int iCol = 0; iCol < data.length; iCol++) {
            TextView tvCol = new TextView(mContext);
            tvCol.setText(data[iCol]);
            tvCol.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER | Gravity.CENTER);
            tvCol.setPadding(3, 3, 3, 3);
            tvCol.setTextColor(mContext.getResources().getColor(
                    R.color.text_black));
            tvCol.setLayoutParams(colParams);
            tvCol.setBackgroundColor(mContext.getResources().getColor(
                R.color.row_background));
            tr.addView(tvCol);
        }

        mTable.addView(tr);
    }

    public TableLayout getTable() {
        return mTable;
    }
}

how to use the class:

MainActivity class

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
	private ScrollView layMain;
	private TableGenerator mTable;

	@Override
	protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
		super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
		setContentView(R.layout.layout_main);

		showTable();
	}

	private void showTable() {
		mTable = new TableGenerator(getApplicationContext());
		layMain = (ScrollView)findViewById(R.id.table);

		String[] firstRow = {"col1", "col2", "col3", "col4"};
		String[] secondRow = {"11", "12", "13", "14"};
		String[] thridRow = {"2a", "2b", "2c", "2d"};

		mTable.addRow(firstRow);
		mTable.addRow(secondRow);
		mTable.addRow(thridRow);

		layMain.removeAllViews();
		layMain.addView(mTable.getTable());
	}
}

to successfully use the code above you need to set the main.xml in layout folder to

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <ScrollView
        android:id="@+id/table"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
    </ScrollView>

</LinearLayout>

now we need some color and string definitions res/values/strings.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
	<string name="app_name">Table</string>
	<color name="table_background">#999999</color>
	<color name="row_background">#ffffff</color>
</resources>
