Using setVisibility in Android?

According to android docs, void setVisibility(int visibility) has One the following parameters VISIBLE, INVISIBLE, or GONE.

View dp2 = findViewByid(R.id.title);
dp2.setVisibility(View.GONE);

So why do we have to use View.GONE, instead of dp2.setVisibility(GONE);

if you are in a class that extends View or extends any class that extends View, then you can directly use GONE without using View.GONE, but if you are in a class that does not extend any View then you have to use View.GONE , that is because GONE is a constant defined in the class View

GONE is a static field on the View class.

If your code has import android.view.View, you reference GONE as View.GONE.

If your code has import static android.view.View.GONE — a static import — you can reference GONE simply as GONE.
