You are doing it right  every time you need to add a row  simply so new TableRow    etc  It might be easier for you to inflate the new row from XML though

You might be better off using a ListView with a CursorAdapter  or SimpleCursorAdapter    These are built to show rows from a sqlite database and allow refreshing with minimal programming on your part   Edit - here is a tutorial involving SimpleCursorAdapter and ListView including sample code

The way you have added a row into the table layout you can add multiple TableRow instances into your tableLayout object  tl addView row1   tl addView row2     etc

Solution 1   Set your TableLayout tl as class member variable  only call TableLayout tl  TableLayout findViewById R id maintable   when you initiate the class  When button clicked use tl directly  eg  tl addView row   don t call FindViewById anymore   So the next new row wouldn t replace the previous new row   Solution 2  Everytime after button click save your updated data into an array  and then re-render your whole table layout by loop through the array
