you need to provide what you have been working on, so answerers can look at it help you with it, but what about inflating a view from resources or creating it programmatically that is hard? — Elltz, Apr 24 '15 at 09:38
Why not use a ListView or RecyclerView, with each row containing the relevant layout? — PPartisan, Apr 24 '15 at 09:43

You can use RecyclerView for Horizontal scrolling-

or-

Take horizontal scrollview reference in java code by findViewById.
Create one other xml for view which you want to display multiple

time.
inflate that view by getlayoutinflator. Create a loop in view.
create a linearlayout at runtime and add those view to it by add view
and add linearlayout to horizontal scroll view. by addview()

take a idea and modify the below code

scrollview = findViewByID(scrollview);
LinearLayout ll = new LinearLayout(this);
for(your loop){
View v= getLayoutInflator().inflate(R.layout.xml);
ll.addView(v);
}
scrollview.addView(ll);

Hey got it finally using your idea.. Thanks for the idea it works great. — user3898351, Apr 24 '15 at 10:37

Either you need to add inflated child views to the root view like below

RelativeLayout rootView = (RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.rootView);
View child = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.child, null);
rootView.addView(child);

OR you can define and include that layout multiple times inside other.

Check this link http://developer.android.com/training/improving-layouts/reusing-layouts.html

Include your reusable layout like this

<include
   android:layout_width="fill_parent"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   layout="@layout/reusabelLayout" />
