Answer 1

Take a look at inflate in the View class, this allows you to inflate an arbitrary XML-file which is then added to a specific ViewGroup:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#inflate(android.content.Context, int, android.view.ViewGroup)

Usage:

View.inflate(context, R.id.my_layout_file, myViewGroup);
