title: Why do I need to call removeView() in order to add a View to my LinearLayout
body: <p>I am getting this error but I am not sure exactly why:</p>
  
  <pre><code>java.lang.IllegalStateException: The specified child already has a parent. You must call removeView() on the child's parent first.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The part where I add the View is the line that the error is pointing to. I am providing my Adapter code in order for you guys to get a better picture of what I am doing and why I am getting this error. Please let me know if anymore info is needed. Thanks in advance.</p>
