Multiple buttons based on the same layout?

My app consists of GridLayout and multiple buttons (at the moment all of them are ToggleButtons). As the amount of buttons will change based on the user actions, I want to be able to add and remove the buttons in code. Can I create a layout for the button in xml and then create and add them to my GridLayout in Java?

you can do that easily. here's an example:

LinearLayout buttonsLayout = (LinearLayout) yourLayout.findViewById(R.id.items_layout);
LayoutParams buttonLayoutParams = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,         LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
buttonLayoutParams.setMargins(mMarginsInPixel, 0, mMarginsInPixel, 0);
button.setLayoutParams(buttonLayoutParams);

// Adding button to layout
buttonsLayout.addView(button);

// or removing button from layout
buttonsLayout.removeView(button);

Yes. Your getView function of your Adapter can inflate the button from xml. Generally you check and see if the incoming view is null, and if it is you inflate a new one.
