How can I increment numbers on every match in Notepad++ Python Script or Android Studio?

I know that I can replace text and leave numbers unchanged in the same match in Android studio using something like textView(\d+) in "find" field and referencing group by textView$1 but how can I increment that numbers like textView$1++? for example textView1 <anytext> textView2, textView3 and etc? not like "textView5 textView5 textView5 becomes textView6 textView6 textView6", but textView6 textView7 textView8. You can suggests other tools as well.
