Add multiple custom views to layout programmatically

You can inflate the layout2.xml file, edit the texts, and add it to the first layout:

public class MyActivity extends Activity {

    private ViewGroup mLinearLayout;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.layout1);
        mLinearLayout = (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.linear_layout);
        addLayout("This is text 1", "This is first button", "This is second Button");
    }

    private void addLayout(String textViewText, String buttonText1, String buttonText2) {
        View layout2 = LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.layout2, mLinearLayout, false);

        TextView textView = (TextView) layout2.findViewById(R.id.button1);
        Button button1 = (Button) layout2.findViewById(R.id.button2);
        Button button2 = (Button) layout2.findViewById(R.id.button3);

        textView1.setText(textViewText);
        button1.setText(buttonText1);
        button2.setText(buttonText2);

        mLinearLayout.addView(layout2);
    }
}

You may want to change android:layout_height of the layout2.xml root view to wrap_content.

If you are using ViewBinding, here is how it would look like for the addLayout function :

MyLayoutBinding binding = MyLayoutBinding.inflate(getLayoutInflater(), mLinearLayout, false);
binding.getTextView1().setText(textViewText);
binding.getButton1().setText(buttonText1);
binding.getButton2().setText(buttonText2);

mLinearLayout.addView(binding.getRoot());
