Make part of layout invisible and the other part visible

up vote2down votefavorite share [fb]share [tw]

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? android layout link|improve this question asked Jun 6 '10 at 17:55 JonF 15618 79% accept rate

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.
