    text
    copied!<p>I have a class that is going to need ~100 buttons. I know I can code it like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:background="@drawable/scroll" android:fillViewport="true" android:scrollbars="none" android:paddingLeft="16dp" android:paddingRight="16dp" android:paddingTop="10dp" android:paddingBottom="65dp" &gt; &lt;LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="vertical" android:paddingTop="5dp" android:paddingBottom="5dp" android:paddingRight="5dp" android:paddingLeft="5dp" android:background="@drawable/scrollviewborder" android:fillViewport="true" &gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/b1" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0dp" android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_gravity="center" android:textSize="18sp" /&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/b2" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0dp" android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_gravity="center" android:textSize="18sp" /&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/b3" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0dp" android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_gravity="center" android:textSize="18sp" /&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/b4" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0dp" android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_gravity="center" android:textSize="18sp" /&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/b5" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0dp" android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_gravity="center" android:textSize="18sp" /&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/b6" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0dp" android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_gravity="center" android:textSize="18sp" /&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/b7" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0dp" android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_gravity="center" android:textSize="18sp" /&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/b8" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0dp" android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_gravity="center" android:textSize="18sp" /&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/b9" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0dp" android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_gravity="center" android:textSize="18sp" /&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/b10" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0dp" android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_gravity="center" android:textSize="18sp" /&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/b11" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0dp" android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_gravity="center" android:textSize="18sp" /&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/b12" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0dp" android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_gravity="center" android:textSize="18sp" /&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/b13" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0dp" android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_gravity="center" android:textSize="18sp" /&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/b14" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0dp" android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_gravity="center" android:textSize="18sp" /&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/b15" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0dp" android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_gravity="center" android:textSize="18sp" /&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/b16" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0dp" android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_gravity="center" android:textSize="18sp" /&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/b17" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0dp" android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_gravity="center" android:textSize="18sp" /&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/b18" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0dp" android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_gravity="center" android:textSize="18sp" /&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/b19" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0dp" android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_gravity="center" android:textSize="18sp" /&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/b20" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0dp" android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_gravity="center" android:textSize="18sp" /&gt; &lt;/LinearLayout&gt; &lt;/ScrollView&gt; </code></pre> <p>But that does not seem very performance efficient and I know if I keep doing that it will soon flag a warning that I have too many lines of code. Is there a more elegant way to do this? XML or in Java will do, it doesn't matter which way.</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p> <p>I have caused an uproar about having 100 buttons in my design. Let me explain why.</p> <p>Anyone here play the Android/Apple app Candy Crush Saga? You know how they have 400+ levels to play that you unlock one at a time? That is similar to what I am doing so that is why I need so many buttons.</p> <p>After that explanation, if I still am doing this wrong, please let me know as I am still a beginner Android programmer.</p>
