My app crashes when using addView()
Im a noob at android. My app keeps crashing whenever I use ViewGroup addView() method but works when I use the Activity addContentView() method.
The reason I want to use addView() instead of addContentView() is that I want to be able to remove the layouts when not needed which is not possible with addContentView().
Code: MainActivity.java
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
//CAMERA VIEW
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);
surfaceView = (SurfaceView)findViewById(R.id.surfaceview);
surfaceHolder = surfaceView.getHolder();
surfaceHolder.addCallback(this);
surfaceHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
ViewGroup rootView = (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.layout.activity_main);
LayoutInflater mLayoutInflater = (LayoutInflater) getSystemService(LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
//GRAPHICS VIEW
glSurfaceView = new GLSurfaceView(this);
glSurfaceView.setEGLConfigChooser(8, 8, 8, 8, 16, 0);
glSurfaceView.getHolder().setFormat(PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);
glSurfaceView.setRenderer(new GLRenderer());
//crash
//rootView.addView(glSurfaceView, new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));
//not crash
addContentView(glSurfaceView, new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));
glSurfaceView.setZOrderMediaOverlay(true);
//CONTROLS VIEW
View ctrlLayout = mLayoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_controls, rootView);
//crash
//rootView.addView(ctrlLayout, new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));
//not crash
addContentView(ctrlLayout, new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));
ctrlLayout.bringToFront();
textView = (TextView)ctrlLayout.findViewById(R.id.text);
rtTextView = (TextView)ctrlLayout.findViewById(R.id.rt_text);
btnStart = (Button)ctrlLayout.findViewById(R.id.button1);
}
activity_main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

EDIT:
I changed my code as suggested by FD_
ViewGroup rootView = mLayoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_main, null); Now when I call setContentView(rootView) at the end of onCreate function, it crashes.
Here is the logcat:

Answer
For others that end up here trying to track down that error using custom views, double check that you're inflating correctly. The following change resolved my issues.
Error:
View view = inflate(getContext(), R.layout.foo, this);
addView(view);
Works fine:
View view = inflate(getContext(), R.layout.foo, null);
addView(view);
