    <p>I've got a view that is effectively is a button. Here is its XML layout (add_new.xml)</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="horizontal"&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/buttonNew" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/bText" android:onClick="addNew"/&gt; &lt;/LinearLayout&gt; </code></pre> <p>When I set its visibility to GONE like this</p> <pre><code>v = getActivity().getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.add_new, null); v.setVisibility(View.GONE); </code></pre> <p>it disappears but still occupies space. Like this: <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/NxAN6.png" alt="enter image description here"> </p> <p>This button is a header in the <code>ListView</code>, which is defined by this xml:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/porno" &gt; &lt;ImageView android:id="@+id/icon" android:layout_width="30dp" android:layout_height="40dp" android:layout_marginLeft="4dp" android:layout_marginRight="10dp" android:layout_marginTop="4dp" android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher"&gt; &lt;/ImageView&gt; &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/label" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@+id/label" android:textSize="20dp" &gt; &lt;/TextView&gt; &lt;/LinearLayout&gt; </code></pre> <p>And I dont want it to occupy an additional list item when its visibility is set to GONE. As it is stated in the documentation. </p> <blockquote> <p>GONE - This view is invisible, and it doesn't take any space for layout purposes.</p> </blockquote> <p>Any ideas on how to make it NOT occupy space?</p> <p>Thanks, Dennis xx</p> <p>P.S. My listview is inside of a FoldersFragment <code>ListFragment</code>and here is the xml of my MainActivity where FoldersFragment is presented</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="horizontal" &gt; &lt;fragment android:id="@+id/foldersFragment" android:layout_width="200dip" android:layout_height="match_parent" class="com.example.fragments.FoldersFragment" &gt; &lt;/fragment&gt; &lt;fragment android:id="@+id/detailFragment" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" class="com.example.fragments.DetailFragment" &gt; &lt;/fragment&gt; &lt;/LinearLayout&gt; </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
