MapFragment ArcGis - The specified child already has a parent

Question

I'm trying to display a MapView from ArcGis in Android Studio. I'm using Map Fragments for that, I put in the xml the Map and my other UI stuff. Putting the MapView element in the layout file always crashes, so I'm doing it this way (using android studio): my_main_activity.xml <android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/maps_app_activity_drawer_layout" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" > <FrameLayout android:id="@+id/maps_app_activity_content_frame" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" /> <ListView android:id="@+id/maps_app_activity_left_drawer" style="@style/drawer_listView_style" android:layout_width="240dp" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_gravity="start" android:background="@android:color/darker_gray" android:choiceMode="singleChoice" android:divider="@color/esri_gray" android:dividerHeight="1px" /> and this is the framgent layout: map_fragment_layout.xml xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/map_fragment_map_container_frame_layout" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"> android:id="@+id/map_layout" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" initExtent = "-9934033.827 1537316.31 -9933312.043 1537940.728" > My map fragment class holds every configuration of the MapView: @Override public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,Bundle savedInstanceState) { mMapContainer = (FrameLayout) inflater.inflate(R.layout.map_fragment_layout,container,false); // Add dynamic layer to MapView (Base) // Retrieve the map and initial extent from XML layout MapView mapView = (MapView)mMapContainer.findViewById(R.id.map_layout); ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer baseMap = new ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer(baseMapURL); mapView.addLayer(baseMap); //Creates a dynamic layer using service URL ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer dynamicLayer = new ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer(dynamicMapURL); //Adds layer into the 'MapView' mapView.addLayer(dynamicLayer); // Set the MapView to allow the user to rotate the map when as part of a pinch gesture. setMapView(mapView); mapView.zoomin(); return mMapContainer; } the function setMapView configures the rest of MapView options: private void setMapView(final MapView mapView) { mMapView = mapView; mMapView.setEsriLogoVisible(false); mMapView.enableWrapAround(true); mapView.setAllowRotationByPinch(true); // Creating an inflater mInflater = (LayoutInflater) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE); // Setting up the layout params for the searchview and searchresult layout mlayoutParams = new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, Gravity.LEFT | Gravity.TOP); mlayoutParams.setMargins(LEFT_MARGIN_SEARCH, TOP_MARGIN_SEARCH,RIGHT_MARGIN_SEARCH, BOTTOM_MARGIN_SEARCH); // set MapView into the activity layout mMapContainer.addView(mMapView); // Displaying the searchbox layout showSearchBoxLayout(); After debuging this error shows up: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{zero.ucamaps/zero.ucamaps.MainActivity}: java.lang.IllegalStateException: The specified child already has a parent.

Any help at all would be appreciated. arcgis android shareeditdeleteflag
