How to manage newly created Buttons that aren't listed, Android Studios

Question

I have setup this activity so that when you press the FloatingActionButton it creates a new XML Button and adds it to the LinearLayout. I want to manage these new buttons that I create, but I dont know how to. Do I need to give each button an individual name? Or put them in a button array? Here is my code and xml. Hope I explained this well enough.

Code:

public class CataFragment extends Fragment {

private LinearLayout mLayout;
private FloatingActionButton mButton;
private String newCataLine;

//private ArrayList<Button> buttonsList = new ArrayList<>();

public static CataFragment newInstance() {
    CataFragment fragment = new CataFragment();
    return fragment;
}

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, 
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_cata, container, 
false);

    mLayout = (LinearLayout) rootView.findViewById(R.id.LinearLineLayout);
    mButton = (FloatingActionButton) rootView.findViewById(R.id.plus);
    mButton.setOnClickListener(onClick());

    Button cataButton = new Button(getContext());

    return rootView;
}

private View.OnClickListener onClick() {
    return new View.OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            showChangeLangDialog();
        }
    };
}

private TextView createNewTextView(String text) {
    final LinearLayout.LayoutParams lparams =
            new 
LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, 
LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);

    final Button cataButton = new Button(getContext());
    cataButton.setAllCaps(false);
    cataButton.setTextSize(40);
    cataButton.setLayoutParams(lparams);
    cataButton.setText(text);
    return cataButton;
}


public void showChangeLangDialog() {
    final AlertDialog.Builder dialogBuilder = new 
AlertDialog.Builder(getContext());
    LayoutInflater inflater = this.getLayoutInflater();
    final View dialogView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_dialog, null);
    dialogBuilder.setView(dialogView);

    final EditText edt = (EditText) dialogView.findViewById(R.id.edit1);

    dialogBuilder.setTitle("Create New Category");
    dialogBuilder.setPositiveButton("Add", new 
DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
            newCataLine = edt.getText().toString();
            mLayout.addView(createNewTextView(newCataLine));
        }
    });
    dialogBuilder.setNegativeButton("Don't Add", new 
DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
        }
    });
    AlertDialog b = dialogBuilder.create();
    b.show();
}
}

Since you are creating new buttons that are textviews in createNewTextView you could create an ArrayList<TextView> to store references to all of the text views you've created then you could access them by their index. If they have special ids you could instead use a map for easy retrieval.
