Android : How can I implement a 2-D array in the XML file for my java class?

I have a 2-D array that I want to show up on the XML file so that it can be seen on the actual activity on the phone. The contents of the array are filled by a function in the class

The code for the function looks like

public String[][] creator(String[][] newList, String[] data){
    for (String obj : data){
        for (char c : obj.toCharArray())
    {
        int i = 0;
        int j = 0;
        newList[i][j] = Character.toString(c);
        ++i;
        if (i == 5){
        ++j;
        i = 0;
        }
    }
    }
    return newList;
}

It's to take components from a string and separate all the characters in all the strings of the array and put them in a new list, as string type. I want that to show on the XML page, but I can't figure out how... I tried using TableLayout and adding it manually but that wouldn't work for data being pulled.
