Changing view in android

I have a ListView called myView and I am getting it to show different kinds of data by saying myView.setAdapter(peopleAdapter) and myView.setAdapter(animalAdapter) and refreshing the ListView.

If I wanted to show an ExpandableListView, the adapter isn't a ListView so I cant say myView.setAdapter(myExpListView). I get an error saying its incompatible.

So instead of setting an adapter to myView to display the expandable list view, I made a whole other view like so: ExpandableListView myExpListView; and I got my data set and set the adapter like so: myExpListView.setAdapter(myExpListView) and it works.

My only problem/question is this: I know how to swap adapters to show different data, but how do I swap views? So how do I swap from myView to myExpListView without starting a different activity?

Thanks.

The standard way to control the views is via it's visibility method:

myView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
myExpListView.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);

and

myExpListView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
myView.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
