Just create a new linear layout, add the EditTexts to that, then add the new linear layout to your existing layout.

public void onClick(View v) {
    EditText t = new EditText(PlusbuttonActivity.this);
    EditText a = new EditText(PlusbuttonActivity.this);
    LinearLayout l = new LinearLayout(PlusbuttonActivity.this);

    t.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
    a.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
    l.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));

    l.addView(t);
    l.addView(a);
    addViewToRoot(l);
} 

Basically, you’re just reproducing the same structure you would need to produce the layout in your XML.
