The LayoutInflater in android can't add child programatically?

Question

I have a LinearLayout and I want to add my new programatically added CardView inside it as a child using the LayoutInflater

    llMain = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.llMain);
    LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
    Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
    if (extras != null) {
        final TextView tvAdded = new TextView(this);
        CardView cvAdded = new CardView(this);

        tvAdded.setTextSize(18);
        tvAdded.setTextColor(Color.BLACK);
        tvAdded.setClickable(true);
        tvAdded.setPadding(0, 10, 0, 0);
        tvAdded.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
        String value = extras.getString("etTest");
        tvAdded.setText(value);

        cvAdded  = (CardView) inflater.inflate((XmlPullParser) llMain, cvAdded, false);
        cvAdded.addView(tvAdded);
        cvAdded.setLayoutParams(new CardView.LayoutParams(CardView.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, CardView.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));

        llMain.addView(cvAdded);
    }

The output I want should be the CardView shows the width and height of match parent, which is the llMain but the problem is that, when I run it, it crashes the app. This is the log of the crash

Change this line:

cvAdded  = (CardView) inflater.inflate((XmlPullParser) llMain, cvAdded, false);

To this:

cvAdded  = (CardView) inflater.inflate(llMain, cvAdded, false);

This shows error "Cannot resolve method 'inflate(android.widget.LinearLayout, androidx.cardview.widget.CardView, boolean)" – Fidz May 09 '20 at 09:36
inflater.inflate(R.layout.llMain, cvAdded, false); – HedgDifuse May 09 '20 at 09:39
inflate method need first argument layout, not view – HedgDifuse May 09 '20 at 09:39
Create layout with your llMain view – HedgDifuse May 09 '20 at 09:42
Or add llMain to your new CardView, then add CardView to cvAdded – HedgDifuse May 09 '20 at 09:44
