Answer 2

using this code, we can able to create linear layout dynamically with inside textview. if you want, just modify the code to as you like, above asked..

 onCreate() Method : 

private Button[] btnAdd ,btnQuestionPalete ; // GLobally
private LinearLayout layout_button ;

layout_button = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.button_layout);

btnAdd = new Button[100] ;

 LayoutParams param2 = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
 LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, 1f);

    btnQuestionPalete = new Button[100];
    for (int i = 0; i < noOfButton; i++) {

    linearQuestionPalettesRow = new LinearLayout(getApplicationContext());
    linearQuestionPalettesRow.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
    linearQuestionPalettesRow.setLayoutParams(param2);
    linearQuestionPalettesRow.setPadding(10, 10, 10, 10);

            textView[i] = new TextView(getApplicationContext());
            textView[i].setId(i+1);
            textView[i].setText("test");
            textView[i].setTextColor(Color.BLACK);
            textView[i].setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL);
            linearQuestionPalettesRow.addView(textView[i]);
            layout_button.addView(linearQuestionPalettesRow);
        }


xml code :
<LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/button_layout"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="75dp"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
         >



        </LinearLayout>

Answer 3

只需将字符串添加到array / arraylist并使之成为arrayadapter即可 ，然后将listView或DridView传递给它很容易

Answer 4

You can use Table Layout to achieve this dynamically. but i think you want your layout in zigzag manner like:

------------------
  ------------------
------------------
  ------------------

so you can do it using ListView (efficient) but if you don't want this pattern and you don't have rows more than 5-10 then you can go for TableLayout
