android recyclerview custom-view Kotlin

I've been struggling with this for a few days now and could really use some help. I'm working with an scenario when trying to inflate a custom view within a RecyclerView's ViewHolder in my Android 14 app. The custom view works perfectly when used alone, but within the RecyclerView, I get the following behavior: `java.lang.IllegalStateException: The specified child already has a parent. You must call removeView() on the child's parent first.` This occurs when I try to bind the view in the `onBindViewHolder` method. Here's how I have set up my ViewHolder and the custom view: ```kotlin class CustomViewHolder(view: View) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(view) { // Assume MyCustomView is the custom view class private val customView: MyCustomView = view.findViewById(R.id.custom_view) fun bind(data: MyData) { customView.setData(data) } } ``` And in my adapter: ```kotlin class MyAdapter(private val dataList: List<MyData>) : RecyclerView.Adapter<CustomViewHolder>() { override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): CustomViewHolder { val view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.context).inflate(R.layout.item_layout, parent, false) return CustomViewHolder(view) } override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: CustomViewHolder, position: Int) { holder.bind(dataList[position]) } override fun getItemCount(): Int = dataList.size } ``` I have checked that I’m not adding the custom view to another parent, and I'm using the latest versions of Kotlin and AndroidX libraries. I also tried using `removeView()` in the custom view's `onAttachedToWindow` method, but that did not resolve the scenario. How can I fix this behavior, or is there something specific I need to consider when inflating custom views within a RecyclerView? I'm working on a service that needs to handle this. Thanks in advance!
