How do I programmatically create TextViews and add them to a Layout from an anonymous OnClickListener?

Question

I am working on an app that will accept a person's name and their score. When the Save button is clicked, I would like the name and score entered to appear in a list. Below I've included my code:

package com.doublel.drawingcontest;

import android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    private Contest contest = new Contest();
    private TextView nameEditText;
    private TextView scoreEditText;
    private Button saveParticipantButton;
    private Button startContestButton;
    private NestedScrollView participantList;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        this.nameEditText = findViewById(R.id.nameEditText);
        this.scoreEditText = findViewById(R.id.scoreEditText);
        this.participantList = findViewById(R.id.namesListView);

        this.saveParticipantButton = findViewById(R.id.nameSaveButton);
        this.saveParticipantButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                //do something when the Save Participant button is pressed
                String name = nameEditText.getText().toString();
                int score = Integer.parseInt(scoreEditText.getText().toString());
                if(name.length() > 0 && score > 0){
                    contest.addParticipant(name, score);
                    //add TextViews for the participant name and score

                    nameEditText.setText("");
                    scoreEditText.setText("");
                    nameEditText.requestFocus();
                }
            }
        });

        this.startContestButton = findViewById(R.id.startDrawingButton);
        this.startContestButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                //do something when the Start Contest button is pressed
            }
        });
    }
}
