Do hidden layouts impact performance or not?

I have a Relative layout which has a lot of Table layouts in it, because of which I am having the warning:

Layout has more than 80 views, bad for performance

Out of all my those table layouts, only one will be visible at a time, based on selection from spinner, my question is will it also hurt performance or its good to go with this approach?

Instead of putting them in separate layout files, I put them in single file because in that case I will end up with a hell lot of xml files.

In the xml file, only first table layout is visible, all others have:

android:visibility="gone"

Please advice...

Yes, hidden layouts do impact performance cause even though they are not displayed, they are still part of the view hierarchy. Try looking into ViewStub to see if it's a valid replacement for your needs: See Documentation
