What's the quickest way to add several views to a LinearLayout?

Question

I have a LinearLayout view that already contains several elements. I want to add a lot more Views to it, programmatically. And because this is inside a Scroll

Answer 1

3 Options:

1. Replace everything with a ListView, with the other parent and custom icons as a header view for the ListView. ListView is faster, because it only creates Views as it needs them.

2. Programatically create the contents of my_list_item instead of inflating, might be quicker

3. Use of ViewStubs may allow you to load views on-demand.

4. Maybe it isn't loading the views but the data? in which case prepare the data in a background thread.
