Can i disable animations on Preference Screen?

I'm using Android PreferenceScreen. One screen is to be shown only for administrators.

Therefor, in my fragment onResume, i have a call:

adminScreen.setVisible(user.isAdmin());//Preference

However when the fragment is shown, the preference is first shown, then there's a short aninmation where the row disappears vertically, and the rows under it are shifted up.

I would like the row to disappear instantly, but can't see how i can make it happen. There are no methods i can see, and the android:animateLayoutChanges has no effect anywhere in my preferences.xml

Does anyone know if there is a way to disable this animation?

With the supposition that you are using a PreferenceFragmentCompat, you can avoid initial animation calling adminScreen.setVisible() before the onResume. If you do that just after the setPreferencesFromResource() or the setPreferenceScreen(), the animation would not be done.

Disable the animations on the RecycleView it's using to display the preferences:

  @Override
  public RecyclerView onCreateRecyclerView (LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup parent, Bundle state) {
    final RecyclerView view = super.onCreateRecyclerView(inflater, parent, state);
    view.setItemAnimator(null);
    view.setLayoutAnimation(null);
    return view;
  }

However the preference to be removed will still flash briefly, so a best solution is to initially hide them in XML using app:isPreferenceVisible="false", and then show them when needed using setVisible(true)
