Firstly add the appropriate import to your Activity:

import android.widget.Button;

Then create a new button object within the onCreate method:

Button myButton = new Button(this);
myButton.setText("Press Me");

Finally add the button to the layout:

LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.layout1);
layout.addView(myButton);

How can I set its width to fill_parent? The setWidth method of the Button accepts only int.
