Question

I would like to make a LinearLayout that was created from xml invisible, and another LinearLayout visible to replace it. The replacement layout starts out as invisible. When I make the originally visible layout invisible, it still leaves space for it on the screen. How can I refresh the screen so that space is gone?

Answer 1

Perhaps you are mixing up View.INVISIBLE with View.GONE:

int GONE This view is invisible, and it doesn’t take any space for layout purposes.

int INVISIBLE This view is invisible, but it still takes up space for layout purposes.
