I want to have a scrollable textview inside an Alertdialog. This is my xml for the scrollview which I inflate inside the alertDialog. I keep getting this error "IllegalStateException: The specified child already has a parent. You must call removeView() on the child's parent first."
Could it be that there is something wrong with my layout? Because I'm only using the layout once.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/invalid_recipients"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="16dip"
android:layout_marginRight="16dip"
android:layout_marginTop="4dip"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
EDIT: I am inflating the dialog and accessing the textview in an AsyncTask in the onPostExecute method. Here is the first bit of that method.
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(Void v) {
if (!invalidRecipientEmails.isEmpty()) {
AlertDialog.Builder certBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(
MessageCompose.this);
final View recipientsLayout = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.message_recipient_scrollview, null);
final TextView recipientsTextView = (TextView) recipientsLayout.findViewById(R.id.invalid_recipients);
recipientsTextView.setText(invalidRecipientsString);
certBuilder.setView(recipientsTextView);
// set rest of alertdialog attributes
}
}
