Error using the RecyclerView: The specified child already has a parent

I am trying to create a listView with a new RecyvlerView Adapter. I have followed the exact guide present on android developer resources. But this is giving me a strange err

Answer 1

RelativeLayout this is parent of your TextView with id item_title. Then when RecyclerView is trying to add TextView that has parent it throw exception.

Try this code:

public MyAdapter.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent,
                                                   int viewType) {
        // create a new view
        Log.d(TAG, "onCreateViewHolder");
        RelativeLayout v = (RelativeLayout)LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext())
                .inflate(R.layout.list_item, parent, false);
        // set the view's size, margins, paddings and layout parameters
        View view = v.findViewById(R.id.text1);
        v.removeView(view);
        ViewHolder vh = new ViewHolder(view);
        return vh;
    }
