Answer
  • It's impossible. Since the activity is named MyActivity, the system will try to load a layout named "activity_my.xml".

  • It requires fewer lines of code.
  • It makes it possible to create the button only if a given condition is fulfilled at runtime.

Question 24

Question
What could be the interest of creating a button (or any other widget) from an XML layout file rather than from the Java code of an activity?
