    I can see two approches to this.

    1. Create the button you want to be enabled but the other button in your XML layout file as usual. Then set it’s android:visibility parameter to gone or invisible. Now you can control wether or not the view will be visible or not from code. User View.setVisibility() to change that.
      Check this link for more details: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#setVisibility(int) (it also explains the difference between invisible and gone)

    2. You can add a view to a ViewGroup dynamically from code. In order to do that you can create the button you want from code – ... new Button(...)... and then adding it to your desired ViewGroup by calling ViewGroup.addView(...).
      More on that topic: Android: Add a view to a specific Layout from code
