java - Set style on TableRow in Android

Question

Using the Android SDK, there doesn't seem to be any way to set the style on a table row. I want to do the equivalent of:

<TableRow
    style='@style/TableRow_classic' >

in code. I would like something like:

TableRow row = new TableRow(this);
row.setStyle(R.style.TableRow_classic);

Does anyone know how to find this?

The best solution I've found to accomplish this is to create a "partial" layout representing the table row, with a style defined:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TableRow xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    style="@style/tr_withborder" />

Then inflate it in your code, to use dynamically:

TableRow tr = (TableRow) getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.partial_table_row, null);

While not ideal, it does work for me
