plz help me on this

Answer 1

The error you are getting is hard to find because your code is all over the place, but the error means you are adding a View (child) that is allready on the screen (has a parent).

This could be anywhere, hard to say with this post, but for example:

This one probably works:

  EditText ed = new EditText(this);
  ed.setWidth(250);
  lymn.addView(ed);

ed is new, so doesn’t have a parent.

But I can’t find the declaration of yes1, so this one MIGHT be the culprint. Or maybe no1.

  yes1.setText("Yes");
  no1.setText("NO");
  rg1.addView(yes1);
  rg1.addView(no1); 
  lymn.addView(rg1);

Check all your addView calls. (hint: there is a line-number in that error somewhere. use it)

To try to answer your question in the comment, you must follow these rules;

• Never add any view more then once.
• When a View is allready used (e.g., you got it with findViewById, don’t use addView on it.
• When you want to add a view, use addView with a NEW view.
• You can add several of these new views to one view, but you cannot add that one view multiple times.
• You can’t re-use a view simply by changing some stuff. You CAN re-use a variable, but you need to make a new view if you want to re-add it using addView.

And, I can’t stress this more: find out, using the line-number in the error, which line produces the error. Look at what you are adding there, and try to figure out with above help why that doesn’t work.
