yes It is. you have to use the inflater service like

        LayoutInflater li=(LayoutInflater) getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        yourview=li.inflate(R.layout.yourlayout, null);

put your xml in layout folder with some name say x.

Use getViewInflate().inflate(R.layout.x, null, null) to create the view.
