I have a old example of "Add and Remove view dynamically". Somebody ask how the Remove button keep track of the views. So I modify the example to explain in more details.
In this example, when user click on the Add button, it will create a child View, addView. The addView have a Button, buttonRemove. The buttonRemove have its own OnClickListener object. The OnClickListener object refer to the specified addView when it is created.
That means the OnClickListener object of the buttonRemove in the first child view("abc") not the same object in the second child view("abcdef"), not the same object in the third child view("abcdefghi")...All have its own individual OnClickListener object. And each OnClickListener object refer to a specified addView object. Such that it can keep track of the child Views, addView.
MainActivity.java
layout/activity_main.xml
layout/row.xml, the layout of the child views.
Download the files (Android Studio Format) .
Its another approach to share a common OnClickListener between all buttonRemove.
