ViewPager with Custom PageAdapter, how to use XML file instead of defining layout in java

I'm programming a quartet game, therefore I need a gallery including all the attibutes of each card. I found an example of ViewPager with a custom PagerAdapter: http://ift.tt/1BuBxDQ

For a simple Gallery view this is pretty nice, but I would like to include a XML file (e.g. of my game activity) instead of defining all layout params explicitly. Thanks for any idea!

Here my adapter class:

private class MyPagerAdapter extends PagerAdapter {

    int numberOfPages = cards.size();

    int[] backgroundcolor = {
            0xFF101010};

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return numberOfPages;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean isViewFromObject(View view, Object object) {
        return view == object;
    }

    @Override
    public Object instantiateItem(ViewGroup container, int position) {

        //select Card on current position from List of cards
        final Card tempCard = cards.get(position);

        //set TextView with deck title
        TextView textView = new TextView(DeckViewActivity.this);
        textView.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
        textView.setTextSize(30);
        textView.setTypeface(Typeface.DEFAULT_BOLD);
        textView.setText(tempCard.getTitle() + " (" + String.valueOf(position + 1) + "/" + cards.size() + ")");


        //set ImageView with deckcover
        ImageView imageView = new ImageView(DeckViewActivity.this);
        ViewGroup.LayoutParams imageParams = new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(
                ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
        imageView.setLayoutParams(imageParams);

        int finalHeight = viewPager.getMeasuredHeight();
        int finalWidth = viewPager.getMeasuredWidth();

        //Load Bitmap from assets
        InputStream inputStream = null;

        try {
            inputStream = getAssets().open(tempCard.getPicture());
            imageView.setImageBitmap(decodeSampledBitmapFromResource(inputStream, finalWidth, finalHeight));
            inputStream.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        //imageView.setImageResource(res[position]);


        LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout(DeckViewActivity.this);
        layout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
        ViewGroup.LayoutParams layoutParams = new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(
                ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
        layout.setBackgroundColor(backgroundcolor[0]);
        layout.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
        layout.addView(textView);
        layout.addView(imageView);

        final int page = position;
        layout.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {

            }});

        container.addView(layout);
        return layout;
    }

    @Override
    public void destroyItem(ViewGroup container, int position, Object object) {
        container.removeView((LinearLayout)object);
    }

}
