Dynamically add Button to ArrayList in Android app

Question

I have the following code:

String[] citazioni = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.citazioni);
List<String> CitazioniOutput = new ArrayList<String>();
for (String value : citazioni) {
    CitazioniOutput.add(value+"\n<Button android:layout_width=\"wrap_content\" android:layout_height=\"wrap_content\" android:text=\"@string/share\" android:onClick=\"Condividi("+value+")\" />");
}

ArrayAdapter<String> adapter= new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,CitazioniOutput);

ListView listView= (ListView)findViewById(R.id.ListViewCitazioni);
listView.setAdapter(adapter);

I added the text "<Button android:layout ..." to each CitazioniOutput item. I would like to convert this text into an actual Button.

@Raghunandan: yes, I would like to add the share button for every item :)

you want a button for each row in listview??

You may need to create a custom listview with custom adapter. Use a custom layout for listview item. Add a button in custom layout file. There are plenty of tutorials in web how to do this. Check these links

You can't translate text values into new views))

If you want to add button into each row, please use custom view: Custom Adapter for List View
