Problem to display dynamic rows in table layout : Android

Question

I want to show data in table layout. Number of data is dynamic, so I need to implement dynamic rows in table. For this purpose I want to show 4 TextView in a single row.

Problem

Currently, I am able to show data in table and with four TextView, but I want some spaces between all four EditText, but unable to do it.

Here is my code

for(ItemRow row : this.getRows()) {

                if(row != null) {
                    // delcare a new row
                    newRow = new TableRow(this);
                    newRow.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(
                            LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
                            LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
                    newRow.setPadding(0, 2, 0, 2);

                    column1 = new TextView(this);
                    column2 = new TextView(this);
                    column3 = new TextView(this);
                    column4 = new TextView(this);

                    column1.setTextColor(Color.BLACK);
                    column2.setTextColor(Color.BLACK);
                    column3.setTextColor(Color.BLACK);
                    column4.setTextColor(Color.BLACK);
                    column1.setSingleLine(false);
                    column2.setSingleLine(false);
                    column3.setSingleLine(false);
                    column4.setSingleLine(false);

                    if(row.getColumnOne() != null){
                        column1.setText(row.getColumnOne());
                    } 

                    if(row.getColumnTwo() != null) {
                        column2.setText(row.getColumnTwo());
                    }

                    if(row.getColumnThree() != null) {
                        column3.setText(row.getColumnThree());
                    }

                    if(row.getColumnFour() != null) {
                        column4.setText(row.getColumnFour());
                    }

                    //Now add a row 
                    newRow.addView(column1);
                    newRow.addView(column2);
                    newRow.addView(column3);
                    newRow.addView(column4);
                    //Add row to table
                    table.addView(newRow, new TableLayout.LayoutParams(
                            LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
                            LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
                }
            }

And here is my output :

You have to add paddind for columns too as:

column1.setPadding(5, 5, 5, 5);    
column2.setPadding(5, 5, 5, 5);    
column3.setPadding(5, 5, 5, 5);    
column4.setPadding(5, 5, 5, 5);

Edits: Then you can set layoutparams as follows:

column1.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(60,90));

but how to set multi line in text view of custom row? Because texts in textview are very large and then row get to long with single line.

Then you can setLayoutParams for TextView like column1.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(60,90));
