android - Creating RadioGroup programmatically

Question

I'm getting an Error while working with the following code

Error: The specified child already has a parent you must call removeView on the child's parent first

Anyone please help me in resolving this Error:

RadioButton[] radiobutton = new RadioButton[5];
RadioGroup radiogroup = new RadioGroup(this);
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {

    LinearLayout listmainLayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.phonelist);
    // listmainLayout.setLayoutParams(new
    // ListView.LayoutParams(width,
    // height / 10));
    listmainLayout.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL);
    RelativeLayout mainlistLayout = new RelativeLayout(getApplicationContext());
    LinearLayout.LayoutParams mainlistLayoutParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
        (int) (width * 0.85), LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
    mainlistLayout.setLayoutParams(mainlistLayoutParams);
    // mainlistLayout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
    mainlistLayout.setPadding((int) (0.03 * width), 0, 0, 0);
    LinearLayout.LayoutParams radiogroupparams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
        LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
        LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
    radiogroup.setLayoutParams(radiogroupparams);
    radiobutton[i] = new RadioButton(this);
    radiobutton[i].setText(" " + ContactsActivity.phonetype.get(i)
        + "    " + ContactsActivity.phone.get(i));
    radiobutton[i].setId(i + 100);
    radiogroup.removeView(radiobutton[i]);
    radiogroup.addView(radiobutton[i]);
    mainlistLayout.addView(radiogroup);
}

My logcat shows:

Answer 1

this The specified child already has a parent. You must call removeView() on the child's parent first. because you are adding child( radio group ) to the parent layout multiple times.

try like this

private void createRadioButton() {
    final RadioButton[] rb = new RadioButton[5];
    RadioGroup rg = new RadioGroup(this); //create the RadioGroup
    rg.setOrientation(RadioGroup.HORIZONTAL);//or RadioGroup.VERTICAL
    for(int i=0; i<5; i++){
       rb[i]  = new RadioButton(this);          
       rb[i].setText(" " + ContactsActivity.phonetype.get(i)
            + "    " + ContactsActivity.phone.get(i));
       rb[i].setId(i + 100);
       rg.addView(rb[i]);
    }
    ll.addView(rg);//you add the whole RadioGroup to the layout

}
