Add Layout programmatically android

I am working on an application that will get images from SD-Card and will respectively show them in the layout like this

enter image description here

The Issue is:

Lets say the user has 100+ files in the SD-Card, to show them in the layout i need to add first 100+ views and then i would do the styling. Wrong approach

My Question is:

What can be done either progamatically or through XML so that i could define only five basic views and depending upon the number of images in the SD-card, it creates the remaining Layouts and views so that i can access them through horizontal scroll view.

My research includes:

I tried using the Grid view layout but it does not full fill my needs as it has a uniform size for all grids. more over i know how to add a layout programmatically but i do not know how to make it work with my design.

Use this approach :-

1.) Put the path to all images in an arraylist.

2.) create a for loop that will run till size of arraylist.

3.) In this loop, create your imageview using code.

ImageView im = new ImageView(this);

4.) to Show image, in src attribute add the path from arraylist.

You need to use some extra layout params to design according your needs.

You can make it by changing you xml both side scrollable as-

<HorizontalScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="320px" android:layout_height="fill_parent">

    <TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:id="@+id/linlay" android:layout_width="320px"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:stretchColumns="1"
        android:background="#000000"/>

</HorizontalScrollView>
