POAndroid hide inflated view
text
Body
copied!<p>I have 4 views that are controlled by 1 SherlockMapActivity. Currently I am switching between views with the tabs by removeAllViews() and then re-inflate the view again. This seams like a very inefficient way of going about it.</p> <p>Is there any way to just "hide" a view that has been inflated already and re-position a new view to the front? I have tried every variation of setVisibility, etc, to no avail. Here is how I am going about it right now:</p> <pre><code>@Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); //load our views! this.baseViewGroup = (ViewGroup)this.findViewById(android.R.id.content); this.mapView = new MapView(ActivityMain.this, MAP_API_KEY); this.mapView.setClickable(true); this.createMenu(); } @Override public void onTabSelected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) { Log.v(CLASS_NAME, "tab selected: "+tab.getPosition()); if (0 == tab.getPosition()) { this.baseViewGroup.removeAllViews(); this.getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.map, this.baseViewGroup); } else if (1 == tab.getPosition()) { this.baseViewGroup.removeAllViews(); this.getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.list, this.baseViewGroup); } } </code></pre> <p>I can then do fancy things with ViewControllers (of sorts) to restart the previous state of the view when it is re-created but this just seams crazy. Is there a better way to do this?</p> <p><strong>Edit</strong> I have tried saving the views (inflate once, remove but then just re-add) but I get this strange behavior. Basically, <em>all</em> inflated views are shown on top of each other, in a semi-transparent way. No amount of setVisibility() makes them totally go away.</p> <p>The code I tried (added to onCreate() and onTabSelected() where appropriate):</p> <pre><code>//in onCreate() this.mapLayout = this.getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.map, this.baseViewGroup); this.moreLayout = this.getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.more, this.baseViewGroup); //in onTabSelected() ViewGroup content = (ViewGroup)this.mapLayout.getParent(); content.removeAllViews(); content.addView(this.mapLayout); </code></pre>
