I am building an android app and I am rather new to it. I was wondering if there is a way to dynamically add a button to a fragment by pressing a button on another fragment. For example, I have a fragment (A) that saves an input from a user and displays it in a listview on fragment (B) so I want to add a button into Fragment (B) for every user input.

It is unclear how it is implemented in the app. Say both fragments are displayed at the same time in the activity. In this case you can get a reference to another fragment with FragmentManager:
((MyFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(...)).addButton(myArgs)
If they are placed in different activities or if one replaces another, you need to use arguments Bundle to pass the information between the two:
SecondFragment secondFragment = new SecondFragment();
Bundle args = new Bundle;
args.putString("name", "batman");
secondFragment.setArguments(args);
getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.container, secondFragment).commit();
// later in SecondFragment#onViewCreated
button.setText(getArgments.getString("name"));

Communication between fragments are possible via "interface". You pass on the data thru the activity that links the fragments. After receiving the corresponding data, Fragment B can perform certain actions and refresh the fragment to show the results.
Refer the below link for more info on the execution- passing data between fragments
