Answer 1

You can just create a TextView like this:

TextView myTextView = new TextView(this);
myTextView.setText("A TextView");

then you can add this view to your layout

Answer 2

Add an id field in layout in xml. Take reference of layout in your class. Create views and add it to layout.

LinearLayout linearLayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById (R.id.YourID);        
TextView textView = new TextView (this);     
textView. setText ("YourText");     
linearLayout. addView (textView);     

Answer 3

You can use this code to create text view programmaticaly:

TextView mTextView = new TextView(this);
LayoutParams params = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
mTextView.setLayoutParams(params);

rootView.addView(mTextView, 0);

Answer 4

What I understoond:

You have two array 1.appname 2. duration then try following code.

LinearLayout linearLayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.YourID);
    for (int i = 0; i < appname.length; i++) 
    {
        TextView textAppname = new TextView(this);
        TextView textDuration = new TextView(this);
        LayoutParams params = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
                LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
        textAppname.setLayoutParams(params);
        textDuration.setLayoutParams(params);

        textAppname.setText(appname[i]);
        textDuration.setText(duration[i]);
        linearLayout.addView(textAppname);
        linearLayout.addView(textDuration);
    }
