The specified child already has a parent-Error

Question

This program shows the error "The specified child already has a parent. You must call removeView() on the child's parent first." The program has EditText(edText) which asks for input from user. Its type is NUMBER.(here r is the value from edText) Below the EditText there is a Button(bt) which displays the edText value. Below the button (bt) there is another Button(bt1) which again displays the edText Value. This button must also displays r rows and 4 columns of EditText views i.e, user must enter r*4 input data in EditText. I cant clear the error and i dont know how to clear that error. Please help me.Any help is really appreciated!!

Answer 1

You can't use fill here. Fill isn't creating new rows, its just adding a copy of the same object into each index of the array. This means the first time you call myTL.addView(tr[i]); you set the parent for ALL of the indexes in your array. The second time it fails because you already have a parent. You need to create separate table rows in your loop rather than calling fill.
