Table in Android

In my Android application there is a screen with some data to be displayed in table format. This table will have around 5 columns and at least 50 rows.

How do I do I create a table in android?

I searched through and everybody seems to recommend to use TableLayout and textView for each cell. Using this technique seems to be a bit difficult as there are lots of textView Components.

Is there any other solution to this?

TableLayout lTableLayout;
lTableLayout = (TableLayout)findViewById(R.id.tblayout);
for(int i=0;i<10;i++){
TableRow tr1 = new TableRow(this);
tr1.setPadding(0, 5, 0, 0);
lTableLayout.addView(tr1, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
                        LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
TextView tv11 = new TextView(this);
tv11.setPadding(2, 0, 0, 0);
tv11.setTextSize(12);
tr1.addView(tv11,LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT); // Can give width and height in numbers also.

}

These will create 10 rows and 1 textview in each row in taken table layout. take one table layout in your xml file like below :

<TableLayout
                    android:id="@+id/tblayout"
                    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
</TableLayout>
