Delete a view and recreate it

Question

Is there a way to remove a view that was set with

setContentView(R.layout.set_map_center);
mapView = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.mapview);

If I call this view again then I get an error saying:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: You are only allowed to have a single MapView in a MapActivity

Answer 1

((ViewGroup)mapView.getParent()).removeView(mapView);
