also adding 2 textview to the table Row [created in XML and inflating in JAVA]

1. First declare your inflater.

   LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)getApplicationContext().getSystemService
     (Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
   

2. Identify and inflate the new view you seek to project on the current view.

   View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.new_layout,null);
   

3. You would want to add your new inflated view to your layout.

   main.addView(view);
   

You can reference additional information here: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/LayoutInflater.html

Update May 2019 (Kotlin): This is how you would inflate a view from XML in Kotlin. this is referring to an activity.

val view = this.layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.dialog_upgrade, null)
mainLayout.addView(view)
