Set RelativeLayout visibility to GONE does not affect children

I have a RelativeLayout, call it my_rel, with a number of children. I use the include tag to include the my_rel into another layout. Anyway, When I set my_rel's visibility to GONE, the children of my_rel are still visible? How do I prevent that from happening?

Here is the larger/envelop view:

<RelativeLayout 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:background="#F0F1F3"
    tools:context=".CookingFiest" >

    <View
        android:layout_width="1dp"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_marginLeft="84dp"
        android:background="#CCCCCC" />

    <View
        android:layout_width="4dp"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_marginLeft="85dp"
        android:background="#FFFFFFFF" />

    <View
        android:layout_width="1dp"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_marginLeft="89dp"
        android:background="#CCCCCC" />

    <ScrollView
        android:id="@+id/my_scroller"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_marginBottom="5dip"
        android:isScrollContainer="false" >

        <LinearLayout
            android:id="@+id/timeline_view"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:orientation="vertical" />
    </ScrollView>

    <com.nothing.noevil.widget.HorizontalListView
        android:id="@+id/cool_stuff"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="50dp"
        android:layout_above="@id/cool_stuff"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_marginBottom="10dp" />

    <include
        android:id="@+id/appliance"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        layout="@layout/kitchen" />

    <RelativeLayout
        android:id="@+id/bottom_nav"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="48dp"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
        android:background="#00000000"
        android:clickable="true" >

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/cook"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
            android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
            android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
            android:clickable="true"
            android:onClick="oncookClicked"
            android:src="@drawable/match_here" />

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/shoe"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_toLeftOf="@id/cook"
            android:clickable="true"
            android:onClick="onshoeClicked"
            android:src="@drawable/shoe" />

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/pencil"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_toRightOf="@id/cook"
            android:clickable="true"
            android:onClick="onRiverClicked"
            android:src="@drawable/pencil" />
    </RelativeLayout>

</RelativeLayout>

Here is the nested/included view:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="50dp"

        android:textColor="#555555"
        android:textSize="12sp"
        android:textStyle="bold" />

</RelativeLayout>

If I set GONE within xml it's fine. But if I set gone programmatically, it's ignored.

LayoutInflater mInflater = (LayoutInflater) getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        kich = (RelativeLayout) mInflater.inflate(R.layout.kitchen, null);
        kich.setVisibility(View.GONE);

I solve the problem by instantiating as

kich = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.appliance)

The id is in the include tag

  <include
    android:id="@+id/appliance"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    layout="@layout/kitchen" />

It's weird when you inflate the include into your main_view like you did.

Try this, inside the R.layout.kitchen xml:

<RelativeLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/kitchen_parent" <!-- HERE -->
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="50dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="40dp"
    android:clickable="true"
    android:onClick="mangoes"
    android:visibility="gone" >

And inside your Activity:

ViewStub stub = (ViewStub) findViewById(R.id.appliance);
stub.inflate();
RelativeLayout kitchen_parent = findViewById(R.id.kitchen_parent);
kitchen_parent.setVisibility(View.GONE);

Hope this helps.
