Ok the solution is as following:

Just need to add removeAllView on all parents before adding the childs

```
protected fun createXmlElement(title:String,description:String){
    val parent = LinearLayout(this)
    parent.layoutParams = LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
            LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT)

parent.orientation = LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL

//children of parent linearlayout
    val iv = ImageView(this)
    val lp = LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
            LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT)

lp.setMargins(0, 11, 7, 0)
    iv.setLayoutParams(lp)
    iv.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_action_play)
    iv.getLayoutParams().height = 40
    iv.getLayoutParams().width = 46

parent.addView(iv); // lo agregamos al layout

val relativeP = RelativeLayout(this)
    relativeP.layoutParams = RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
            RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT)

val linearCH = LinearLayout(this)
    linearCH.layoutParams = LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
            LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT)
    // TextView1
    val tv1 = TextView(this)
    val lptv1 = LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
            LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT)

lptv1.setMargins(0, 7, 0, 0)

tv1.setLayoutParams(lptv1)
    tv1.setText(title) // title
    tv1.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP,25F)
    tv1.setTypeface(null, Typeface.BOLD)

// TextView2
    val tv2 = TextView(this)
    val lptv2 = LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
            LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT)

lptv2.setMargins(0, 11, 7, 0)

tv2.setLayoutParams(lptv1)
    tv2.setText(description) // description
    tv2.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP, 25F)
    tv2.setTypeface(null, Typeface.BOLD)

linearCH.removeAllViews()
    linearCH.addView(tv1)
    linearCH.addView(tv2)

relativeP.removeAllViews()
    relativeP.addView(linearCH)

// last ImageView
    val iv2 = ImageView(this)
    val lpiv2 = RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
            LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT)

lpiv2.setMargins(0, 11, 7, 0)
    lpiv2.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_RIGHT)
    iv2.setLayoutParams(lpiv2)
    iv2.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_action_share)
    iv2.getLayoutParams().height = 40
    iv2.getLayoutParams().width = 46

parent.removeAllViews()
    parent.addView(iv)
    parent.addView(relativeP)
    parent.addView(iv2)

val finalParent = this.findViewById(R.id.contenedor) as ViewGroup

finalParent.addView(parent)
}
```

Thanks NSion, the error on logcat point to me the right direction!
