Exception:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: The specified child already has a parent. You must call removeView() on the child's parent first. at android.view.ViewGroup.addViewInner(ViewGroup.java:1976) at android.view.ViewGroup.addView(ViewGroup.java:1871) at android.view.ViewGroup.addView(ViewGroup.java:1828) at android.view.ViewGroup.addView(ViewGroup.java:1808)
Solution: ((ViewGroup)scrollChildLayout.getParent()).removeView(scrollChildLayout);
Use the child element to get a reference to the parent. Cast the parent to a ViewGroup so that you get access to the removeView method and use that.
LinearLayout layout = initLayout(); for (int i = 0; i < items.size(); i++) { View view = items.get(i); ((ViewGroup) view.getParent()).removeView(view); layout.addView(view, lpLabel); } mLayout.addView(layout);
