If you are you trying to attach a child view to the RelativeLayout  you can do by following  RelativeLayout item    RelativeLayout findViewById R id item   View child   getLayoutInflater   inflate R layout child  item  true

I had the hardest time with this error  because of my unique circumstances  but finally found a solution   My situation  I am using a separate view  XML  which holds a WebView  then opens in an AlertDialog when I click a button in my main activity view  But somehow or another the WebView belonged to the main activity view  probably because I pull the resource from here   so right before I assigned it to my AlertDialog  as a view   I had to get the parent of my WebView  put it into a ViewGroup  then remove all the views on that ViewGroup  This worked  and my error went away      set up Alert Dialog box AlertDialog Builder alert   new AlertDialog Builder this      inflate other xml where WebView is LayoutInflater layoutInflater    LayoutInflater this getSystemService                  Context LAYOUT INFLATER SERVICE   View v   layoutInflater inflate R layout your webview layout  null   final WebView webView    WebView  v findViewById R id your webview id       more code           later on after I loaded my WebView          first  remove the parent of WebView from it s old parent so can be assigned a new one  ViewGroup vg    ViewGroup  webView getParent    vg removeAllViews        put WebView in Dialog box alert setView webView   alert show

It s helpful to add to this  even though it s an old post  that if the child view that is being inflated from xml is to be added to a viewgroup layout  you need to call inflate with a clue of what type of viewgroup it is going to be added to  Like   View child   getLayoutInflater   inflate R layout child  item  false     The inflate method is quite overloaded and describes this part of the usage in the docs  I had a problem where a single view inflated from xml wasn t aligning in the parent properly until I made this type of change

If you want to add a single view multiple time then you have to use      layoutInflaterForButton   getActivity   getLayoutInflater      for  int noOfButton   0  noOfButton  lt  5  noOfButton              FrameLayout btnView    FrameLayout  layoutInflaterForButton inflate R layout poll button  null           btnContainer addView btnView           If you do like     layoutInflaterForButton   getActivity   getLayoutInflater        FrameLayout btnView    FrameLayout  layoutInflaterForButton inflate R layout poll button  null     and  for  int noOfButton   0  noOfButton  lt  5  noOfButton                  btnContainer addView btnView               then it will throw exception of all ready added view

If you re not in an activity you can use the static from   method from the LayoutInflater class to get a LayoutInflater  or request the service from the context method getSystemService   too    LayoutInflater i  Context x          Assuming here that x is a valid context  not null  i    LayoutInflater  x getSystemService Context LAYOUT INFLATER SERVICE     OR i   LayoutInflater from x      I know it s almost 4 years ago but still worth mentioning
