Simply I want to create a basic shopping app that have 20 products. the price and product name will come from server and quantity will input by user so how do I that?

Answer 1

You are looking for something like this

int count = container.getChildCount(); 
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
   final View row = container.getChildAt(i);
   TextView textOut = (TextView)row.findViewById(R.id.textout);
   String data = textOut.getText().toString();
}

Where container is your LinearLayout in which you have added your inflated rows.
