You can create a custom view for the button and add/remove them to a ListView as required.
Hope this short explanation helps

Thanks for answering

how do i do what you wrote?
and how do i save the textthe user input and insert it to the right button?

Google for ListViews and how to use BaseAdapters. You first create a custom view which will be your button you want to add/remove. Take the input from user and set it as TextView in your custom view for the button

But i beed that when the app shuts down and reopened it should look like the last change that the user made

Use savedInstanceState I guess.
Search it up on Google. You can also post questions of this sort on stackoverflow.com

 

[out of ideas]

Dont post these types of questions on stackoverflow. That is for serious developers and will be closed within an hour.

google around for what your are looking to do. there are many many answers for what you are looking for.

"ListViews", "BaseAdapters", "TextView"... any other suggestions for search terms to help the OP locate the info he needs?

 

[out of ideas]

well from such a vague generalization it is very hard to decide what the OP actually needs. I mean does it actually have to be a radio button setup, or can it just be a list of particular texts which link to a certain a certain function.

An sqlitedatabase can probably help with something like this, but it also seems like this might be a calendar related function, like with presets(like "feed cat" and they set the time, or "go to work" and they set the time.) So it is really hard to say unless you get the whole idea of what they are going for.

I think a large part of programming is mapping out EXACTLY what you want to do, otherwise its kind of like throwing darts in the dark.

besides, the

I am not planning to develop it i am just interestend in how to do that

makes it very clear this isn't a legit development question, but rather a general kind of question.

But either way, a database will probably be helpful.

and
developer.android.com is always a good place to look.
