val inflater: LayoutInflater = LayoutInflater.from(this)
// When attachToRoot is true, the generated view from the a_view XML will automatically attached to the rootView,
// but it will not return the inflated view but the rootView itself.
val rootViewReference = inflater.inflate(R.layout.a_view, rootView, attachToRoot = true)
// this will not attach the view to the rootView. The returned reference is the inflated aView from XML.
val aView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.a_view, rootView, attachToRoot = false)
