I'm trying to dynamically create TableRow objects and add them to a TableLayout. The TableRow objects has 2 items, a TextView and a CheckBox. The TextView items need to have their layout weight set to 1 to push the CheckBox items to the far right.

I can't find documentation on how to programmatically set the layout weight of a TextView item.

You have to use TableLayout.LayoutParams with something like this:

TextView tv = new TextView(v.getContext());
tv.setLayoutParams(new TableLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, 1f));

The last parameter is the weight.
