you can load a layout multiple times

public class Uncscramble1Activity extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        setup1();
    }
    private void setup1()
    {
    	LinearLayout buttonParentLayoutView
    	= (LinearLayout)this.findViewById(R.id.buttonParentLayoutView);
    	
    	LayoutInflater li = this.getLayoutInflater();
    	Button b1 =
    	(Button)li.inflate(R.layout.button_layout, null);
    	b1.setText("A");

    	Button b2 =
        	(Button)li.inflate(R.layout.button_layout, null);
        	b2.setText("B");
    	
    	buttonParentLayoutView.addView(b1);
    	buttonParentLayoutView.addView(b2);
    }
}

here is the layout that was loaded multiple times in its own layout file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Button 
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
android:text="Button" 
android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
</Button>

The id won't make sense in this scenario

you will need to keep track of the loaded views through pointers. Any time you hold stuff in pointers, beware of device rotation.
