How to define and set TextView in a for loop to concise the code?

Question

I want to make the below code concise. It has repetition of similar kind of calls. I tried LinearView and GetChildCount method but It does not give me proper results, I might have misunderstood how to define these in loop using Childs Or other method.

Can any one help ?

tv1 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.tv1);
tv2 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.tv2);
tv3 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.tv3);
// ...
// ... and so on till
// ...
tv25 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.tv25);

// Similarly
tv1.setText(stall);
// ... till ...
tv25.setText(stall);

Use this:

    //create an array of ids
    int[] editextIDs = {R.id.tv1
            ,R.id.tv2
            ,R.id.tv3
            ,R.id.tv4
            ,R.id.tv5
            ,R.id.tv6
            ,R.id.tv7
            ,R.id.tv8
            ,R.id.tv9
            ,R.id.tv10
            ,R.id.tv11
            ,R.id.tv12
            ,R.id.tv13
            ,R.id.tv14
            ,R.id.tv15
            ,R.id.tv16
            ,R.id.tv17
            ,R.id.tv18
            ,R.id.tv19
            ,R.id.tv20
            ,R.id.tv21
            ,R.id.tv22
            ,R.id.tv23
            ,R.id.tv24
            ,R.id.tv25
    };
    //create an arraylist of 25 editTexts
    ArrayList<EditText> editTexts = new ArrayList<>();
    //fill the array
    for(int i = 0; i < 25 ;i++)
    {
        editTexts.add(i,(EditText) findViewById(editextIDs[i]));
    }
    //set the texts
    for(int i = 25; i <25 ;i++)
    {
        editTexts.get(i).setText(stall);
    }

This may seem a lot of cut and pasting, but i created the ,R.id.tvX with excel. To do this, you write

,R.id.tv1

and then drag it till you got 25 fields.

Also, if you want to clean your code a bit, you may create a class in which you paste the array creation part and make the variable static. For example if you call the class EditTextArrayHandler, you would get the array like this:

int[] editextIDs = EditTextArrayHandler.editTextIDs;

Hope it helps.
