CODE:

private TableLayout Table;//in XML

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

                //here I define the TR params   
        Table=(TableLayout)findViewById(R.id.Table);
        TableLayout.LayoutParams tableRowParams=new TableLayout.LayoutParams 
(TableLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,TableLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,1.0f);
            //fill the table with Table rows dynamicly
    for(int i=0;i<N;i++){


        TableRow TR= new TableRow(this);
        TR.setLayoutParams(tableRowParams);
        Table.addView(TR);
        //Table Row contains EditText and ImageView
                    EditText editText1 =new EditText(this);
        ImageView imgview=new ImageView(this);
        TR.addView(editText1);
        TR.addView(imgview);

        editText1.setText("foo");
        editText1.setLayoutParams(new TableLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,1.0f));

        int id = getResources().getIdentifier("com.example.university2:drawable/news1", null, null);


        imgview.setImageResource(id);
        imgview.setAdjustViewBounds(true);
        imgview.setMaxHeight(50);
        imgview.setMaxWidth(50);

        imgview.setLayoutParams(new TableLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,1.0f));


    }

}

Here is the XML

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >

<ScrollView
    android:id="@+id/scrollView1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true" >

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

</ScrollView>

I would appreciate your help. Thank you.

Looks that issue is caused by TR.setLayoutParams(tableRowParams);
(java.lang.ClassCastException: android.widget.TableLayout$LayoutParams cannot be cast to android.widget.TableRow$LayoutParams)
becouse tableRowParams (declaration: TableLayout.LayoutParams tableRowParams) is not TableRow.LayoutParams
Try to replace

TableLayout.LayoutParams tableRowParams=new TableLayout.LayoutParams (TableLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,TableLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,1.0f);

with (updated) 

TableRow.LayoutParams tableRowParams=new TableRow.LayoutParams (TableRow.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,TableRow.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,1.0f);

and edit

TR.addView(editText1, new TableRow.LayoutParams (TableRow.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,TableRow.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,1.0f));
TR.addView(imgview, new TableRow.LayoutParams (TableRow.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,TableRow.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,1.0f));

remove

imgview.setLayoutParams(new TableLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,1.0f));

and 

editText1.setLayoutParams(new TableLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,1.0f));

Issue was caused by incorrect creation of LayoutParams for particular control added to particular owner, e.g.: if You are adding control to LinearLayout - You should use LinearLayout.LayoutParams for that control, TableLayout.LayoutParams - in case You are adding control to TableLayout, ... etc...
