Question

I have got something like this:

<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

    <TableLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">

        <TableRow
            android:id="@+id/tableRow1"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content">

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/chooseBirthDateText"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_marginTop="25dp"
                style="@style/mediumText"
                android:gravity="center_horizontal"
                android:text="@string/choose_birth_date" />

        </TableRow>
    </TableLayout>
</ScrollView>

i would like to add some more rows, but only after some time(lets say 10 sec). I thought to make those rows invisible at first and then make them appear. But in that way my scrollView is not working as i want(i can scroll down even if nothing is below – since rows are invisible)

So i thought to make rows that i want to add in second file, load them in middle time and add them after tableRow1 in moment they have to appear. Unfortunately i have got no idea how to do that(i am talking about connecting 2 files, not creating second one in java) :/

Answer 1

There are two modes to hide a view:

• INVISIBLE: This view is invisible, but it still takes up space for layout purposes.
• GONE: This view is invisible, and it doesn’t take any space for layout purposes.

I think GONE will help you.
