Having 2 Possible XML layouts for the same java Class

I am having loads of problems with Banner Ads, namely hiding them if the consumer makes any type of purchase in my App.

These problems can be found here:

setVisibility(View.GONE) causes a Crash

So basically I have a new question.

I have a class MainActivity.java with the associated XML. It is possible to have two options of the XML layout (one with the ad, one without), and through a bit of java code assign one of these two XML layouts to the MainActivity class at runtime?

If so, how can it be done?

Yes, you can use conditionals such as if statements or a switch, for instance:

if (your requirement) -> setContentView(layout A)

else -> setContentView(layout B)

There are lots of possible solutions. Here's the simplest one:

Step #1: Create the two layouts — here, I'll call them R.layout.with_ads and R.layout.without_ads

Step #2: When you call setContentView() in onCreate() of your activity, pass in either R.layout.with_ads or R.layout.without_ads, based on whatever criteria you wish to use to decide which to use
