Two layout visibility problem in one activity

I have two linear layouts e.g. L1 and L2. I put them on a single activity. Outside these two layouts, I have a radio button from which I'm controlling visibility. At a time only 1 should be visible. It perfectly working but the problem is,

Two linear layouts are stacked over each other. So when I invisible the upper layout(L1) then it shows white space in that area.

So the L1 gets invisible but space is still occupied by itself.

I want to take that area from L1 so that L2 replaces it.

[Note: This is just a concept so I thought the XML code is not required. But still, if you need I will update it]

When you turn the visibility to invisible, you can't see the layout but it will still there and occupying the space. It is similar to the layout.setAlpha(0f);. When you use setAlpha(0f);, the user can interact with all the views inside that layout i.e, Button inside layout will not visible but can be clicked. While setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE); doesn't allow to do so.

When you turn the visibility to gone, the layout becomes not visible (act as height and width become 0). But it stills present in its parent view. It doesn't mean that it will be removed from the parent layout.

Instead of setting the visibility to invisible, set it at gone. The different is that, in gone mode, components are not part of the visual tree anymore
