How to create multiple copies of ImageView object programmatically?

I have an ImageView object, R.id.tile, defined in my XML layout, and what I'm trying to do is create clones of it and place each of them at different coordinates.

This is what I have so far:

    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstance)
    {   super.onCreate(savedInstance);
        setContentView(R.layout.board_layout);
        layout = (AbsoluteLayout)findViewById(R.id.board);
        img = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.tile);
        View[] tiles = new ImageView[9];
        for (int i = 0; i<tiles.length; i++) {
            tiles[i] = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.tile);
        }

        for(int i=0; i<3; i++){
            for(int j=0; j<3; j++){
                tiles[i+j].setX((float) 32*2*i);
                tiles[i+j].setY((float) 34.39*2*j);
            }
        }
     ...

But when I am debugging it keeps stopping on the line tiles[i] = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.tile);
with the error "Source not found."

Any ideas?

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    linear = new LinearLayout(this);
    linear = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.linear);

    for(int i=1;i<10;i++)
    {
        iv = new ImageView(this);
        iv.setImageResource(R.drawable.plus);
        iv.setPadding(0,0,0,20);
        linear.addView(iv);
    }
}

ImageView imageview=new ImageView(context);

imageview=yourimageview // copy of your original

For your problem try this

View[] tiles = new ImageView[9];
ImageView testview= (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.testview);

for (int i = 0; i<tiles.length; i++) {
            tiles[i] = new Imageview(context);
        }
