Laying out data with TableLayout

Now, we will build a layout that resembles a spreadsheet. It will have neatly aligned cells with titles and data. In a real-world app, you would most likely use real live data from the user. As we are just practicing with different layouts, we will not go to this extent.

Follow these steps:

1. In the project window, expand the res folder. Now, right-click the layout folder and select New. Notice that there is an option for Layout resource file.
2. Select Layout resource file, and you will see the New Resource File dialog window.
3. In the File name: field, enter my_table_layout. This is the same name we used in the call to setContentView within the loadTableLayout method.
4. Notice in the Root element: field that it has selected by default …ConstraintLayout as the option. Delete …ConstraintLayout and type TableLayout.
5. Click the OK button, and Android Studio will generate a new TableLayout in an XML file called my_table_layout...
