Building upon the linked question this is what will work for you

    String[] textArray = {"One", "Two", "Three", "Four","Five","Six"};
    LinearLayout linearLayout = new LinearLayout(this);
    linearLayout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
    for( int i = 0; i < textArray.length; i+=2 )
    {
        LinearLayout linearLayout1 = new LinearLayout(this);
        linearLayout1.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
        TextView textView1 = new TextView(this);
        textView1.setText(textArray[i]);
        TextView textView2 = new TextView(this);
        textView2.setText(textArray[i+1]);
        linearLayout1.addView(textView1);
        linearLayout1.addView(textView2);
        linearLayout.addView(linearLayout1);
    }
    <mainLayout>.addView(linearLayout);

Further more you can add LinearLayout.LayoutParams to set the content however you like. And if you'd like to center it then you can use weights
