Question

i need to disable the view programmatically so i used setVisibility(view.GONE) in activity. My xml have two buttons named lower and upper and two relative layouts named lower_lay and upper_lay.when i click the lower button i need enable lower_lay and i click the upper button i need to enable upper_lay. Both in upeer_lay and lower_lay having images and performing onTouch event. Now my problem is when i am in lower_lay the images of upper_lay are disabled but when i touch the empty space in lower_lay, upper_lay images are coming...and in upper_lay i am having this issue. Why the view is not completelt gone?

       upper_lay= (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.relative_layout_two);//upperlayout
    upper.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
        @Override

            upper.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#ffffff"));
            lower.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#F93249"));
           lower_lay.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

        }
    });

Answer 1

View is the class, so should starts with capital letter. Kindly see my updates.

upper.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        lower_lay.setVisibility(View.GONE);
        upper.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#F93249"));
        lower.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#ffffff"));
        upper_lay.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

    }
});

lower.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        lower_lay.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        upper.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#ffffff"));
        lower.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#F93249"));
        upper_lay.setVisibility(View.GONE);
    }
});

Answer 2

Try using View.GONE not view.GONE

and lower.setOnClickListener not lower.setOnTouchListener
