android - Run code before layout is shown

One of the items on my app is an option who leads to another activity. Ok, I can send this option to the other activity, but I must read that option and then hide some stuff from the layout based on this info.

I have added this into the onCreate method, but no succes:

Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
String type = extras.getString("objects");

if(type == "animals"){      

    ImageView fieldSwamp = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.btnSwamp);
    ((LinearLayout)fieldSwamp.getParent()).removeView(fieldSwamp);

    ImageView fieldGrass = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.btnGrass);
    ((LinearLayout)fieldGrass.getParent()).removeView(fieldGrass);          

}

Then I tried it on the "onLocationChanged" method but no success either. I'm not sure if the problem is in the code itself or if it is where I put it. Can someone please help?

Thanks in advance!

Try 

ImageView fieldSwamp = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.btnSwamp);
fieldSwamp.setVisibility(View.GONE);

Also you should use if(type.equals(type)) {

try this, because .equalsIgnoreCase is better for comparing strings, and it'll ignore the letters case.

if("animals".equalsIgnoreCase(type)){      

    ImageView fieldSwamp = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.btnSwamp);
    ((LinearLayout)fieldSwamp.getParent()).removeView(fieldSwamp);

    ImageView fieldGrass = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.btnGrass);
    ((LinearLayout)fieldGrass.getParent()).removeView(fieldGrass);          

} else {
Log.e("type","didn't remove views.");
}
