    copied!<p>I have an application that will have 5-15 buttons depending on what is available from a backend. How do I define the proper GridView layout files to include an array of buttons that will each have different text and other attributes? Each button will essentially add an item to a cart, so the onClick code will be the same except for the item it adds to the cart.</p> <p>How can I define an array so I can add a variable number of buttons, but still reference each of them by a unique ID? I've seen examples of the <a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/samples/ApiDemos/res/values/arrays.html" rel="noreferrer">arrays.xml</a>, but they have created an array of strings that are pre-set. I need a way to create an object and not have the text defined in the layout or arrays xml file.</p> <p><strong>Update - Added info about adding to a GridView</strong></p> <p>I want to add this to a GridView, so calling the [addView method](<a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/AdapterView.html#addView(android.view.View,%20int)" rel="noreferrer">http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/AdapterView.html#addView(android.view.View,%20int)</a> results in an UnsupportedOperationException. I can do the following:</p> <pre><code>ImageButton b2 = new ImageButton(getApplicationContext()); b2.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.img_3); android.widget.LinearLayout container = (android.widget.LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.lay); container.addView(b2); </code></pre> <p>but that doesn't layout the buttons in a grid like I would like. Can this be done in a GridView?</p>
