Ok. With some of the review of your comments i got why this issue is created.

May be You are not removing the first View properly. Thats why while you are going to add another view, there are two views(1st is previous one and second is newly added view) instead of the one new View.

So remove the first view properly and then add the view as you want.

Hope it will help you.

Thanks.

Enjoy. :)
