this is my layout code,

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/invitation_single"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:divider="?android:dividerVertical"
    android:dividerPadding="5dp"
    android:showDividers="middle"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <ImageButton
        android:id="@+id/image"
        android:layout_width="@dimen/contact_image"
        android:layout_height="50dp"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_action_event" />

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="50dp"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:clickable="false"
        android:focusable="true"
        android:orientation="vertical">

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/invitation_title"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:paddingLeft="0dp"
            android:paddingRight="0dp"
            android:paddingTop="3dp"
            android:textColor="@color/black"
            android:textSize="18sp" />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/invitation_place"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:paddingLeft="5dp"
            android:paddingRight="0dp"
            android:textColor="@color/black"
            android:textSize="15sp" />
    </LinearLayout>

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/hidden"
        android:layout_width="600dp"
        android:layout_height="60dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="60dp"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:clickable="true"
        android:focusable="true"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:paddingTop="1dp"
        android:visibility="gone"
        android:weightSum="3">


        <Button
            android:id="@+id/yesbutton"
            android:layout_width="100dp"
            android:layout_height="50dp"
            android:layout_marginLeft="0dp"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:background="@color/blue"
            android:text="Yes"
            android:textColor="@color/black"></Button>

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/nobutton"
            android:layout_width="100dp"
            android:layout_height="50dp"
            android:layout_marginLeft="30dp"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:background="@color/blue"
            android:text="No"

        <Button

            android:layout_height="50dp"
            android:layout_marginLeft="30dp"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:background="@color/blue"
            android:text="Maybe"
            android:textColor="@color/black"></Button>
    </LinearLayout>

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/hidden1"
        android:layout_width="1000dp"
        android:layout_height="50dp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="-235dp"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:clickable="true"
        android:focusable="false"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:visibility="gone">

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/title"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginLeft="0dp"
            android:paddingLeft="0dp"
            android:paddingRight="10dp"
            android:paddingTop="3dp"
            android:textColor="@color/black"
            android:textSize="18sp" />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/place"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginLeft="0dp"
            android:paddingLeft="0dp"
            android:paddingRight="10dp"
            android:textColor="@color/black"
            android:textSize="15sp" />
    </LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

And this is my java code,

Button yes = (Button) convertView.findViewById(R.id.yesbutton);
            Button no = (Button) convertView.findViewById(R.id.nobutton);
            Button maybe = (Button) convertView.findViewById(R.id.buttonmaybe);
final LinearLayout first = (LinearLayout) convertView.findViewById(R.id.invitation_single);
            final LinearLayout second = (LinearLayout) convertView.findViewById(R.id.hidden);
            final LinearLayout third = (LinearLayout) convertView.findViewById(R.id.hidden1);
  yes.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    third.setVisibility(second.GONE);


                }
            });

in above code i am try to hide the "hidden" layout buttons and show only the "hidden1" textviews.

Answer 1

Call setVisibility(View.GONE);

If you use View.GONE value, the element will be removed from the layout hence it won’t occupy any space in the layout.

Answer 2

Try second.setVisibility(View.GONE); to hide "hidden" layout, and third.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); to show textviews under "hidden1"

PS: You should pay a particular attention to naming variables, yours doesn't make much sense, and it will be hard for other developers to maintain your code.
