How to add same view to parent multiple times by inflating it only once

I have a LinearLayout with vertical orientation as parent, I want to add some view programmatically multiple times to this parent. Right now I am inflating the child every time getting new references to every UI element before adding to parent. This doesn't seem to be very efficient, is there any better way of doing this.

Current code I am using is below, If I inflate only once before for loop I get runtime error "he specified child already has a parent. You must call removeView() on the child's parent first."

        LayoutInflater inflator = LayoutInflater.from(getBaseContext());
        LinearLayout parentPanel = findViewById(R.id.parent_pannel);

        ArrayList<String> myList = getData();
        for(String data : myList) {
            // inflate child
            View item = inflator.inflate(R.layout.list_item, null);
            // initialize review UI
            TextView dataText = (TextView) item.findViewById(R.id.data);
            // set data
            dataText.setText(data);
            // add child
            parentPanel.addView(item);
        }
