I would add an id to your LinearLayout in xml:

And then change your onClick to this:

public void onClick(View v) {
    switch (v.getId()) {

    case R.id.btnAddARoom:
        //add a room
        //Find you parent layout which we'll be adding your button to:
        LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.llContainer);

        roomName = etAddARoom.getText().toString();
        Button createdButton = new Button(this);
        createdButton.setText(roomName);
        createdButton.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,         LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
        layout.addView(createdButton);

        //if no rooms make tvnorooms disappear

        break;
    }
}
