How to add same view to parent multiple times by inflating it only once

Question

I have a LinearLayout with vertical orientation as parent, I want to add some view programmatically multiple times to this parent. Right now I am inflating the child every t

Answer 1

Inflating multiple times cannot be done the same way doing it in single shot. Hope this works

LayoutInflater inflator = (LayoutInflater).getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

    LinearLayout parentPanel = findViewById(R.id.parent_pannel);

    ArrayList myList = getData();
    for(String data : myList) {
        // inflate child
        View item = inflator.inflate(R.layout.list_item, null);
        // initialize review UI
        TextView dataText = (TextView) item.findViewById(R.id.data);
        // set data
        dataText.setText(data);
        // add child
        parentPanel.addView(item);
    }

This will work, at the least worked me
