“Avoid passing null as the view root” warning when inflating view for use by AlertDialog

Question

I get the lint warning, Avoid passing null as the view root when inflating views with null as parent, like:

LayoutInfl         


        

Answer 1

Instead of doing

view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.list_item, null);

do

view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.list_item, parent, false);

It will inflate it with the given parent, but won't attach it to the parent.
