No. A View instance can have only one parent.

To acheive similar views in two parents, you can create two instances of the view by inflating the layout.

You can create an instance of the view by the following code:

View v = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.<your_view_layout>, null)

and then adding the view instance to the required parents.
