What I have tried:

Java

setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        LinearLayout linearLayout = findViewById(R.id.llayout);
        // Add TextView to LinearLayout
        if (linearLayout != null) {
            TextView[] textView = new TextView[0];
            for(int i=0;i<=113;i++) {
        // Create TextView programmatically.
        textView[i].setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
        textView[i].setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
        textView[i].setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);

        textView[i].setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Clicked on me", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        });
                textView[i].setText("Click on me");
                linearLayout.addView(textView[i]);
            }
        }

TextView[] textView = new TextView[14];
for(int i=0;i<=113;i++) {

Look at these statements very closely.

You create an array reference of TextViews with no entries:

Java

TextView[] textView = new TextView[0];

and you then try to refer to 114 of them, even though they do not exist.

Java

    for(int i=0;i<=113;i++) {
// Create TextView programmatically.
textView[i].setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,

You need to create the 114 TextViews in the array before you can refer to them.

Java

TextView[] textView = new TextView[114];

Android create multiple textviews dynamically
