Button1.Left=10dip
Button1.Width=100dip
Button2.Left=110dip
Button2.Width=100dip
I think: Button2.Left=Button1.Left+Button1.Width=110dip
If I change: Button2.Left=102dip There will be no gap.
Thank you very much!
Is there a better way?

Use the SetPadding method I posted here to set the padding of the buttons to 0: http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/padding-on-views.37252/#post-219562

Have you tried it with your layout? There is no "real" gap between the buttons in this case. The gap is caused by the padding.

Please use File - Export as zip when uploading projects.

The problem is not with the padding. I was wrong ,the padding is not relevant here.
The buttons default drawable includes a small gap. If you replace it by replacing the background then there is no gap:

B4X:

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   For x = 0 To 10
     For y = 0 To 10
       Dim b As Button
       b.Initialize("b")
       b.Text = x & " " & y
       b.Color = Colors.Blue
       Activity.AddView(b, 40dip * x, 40dip * y, 40dip, 40dip)
     Next
   Next
End Sub
