Toggle visibility of a layout on onClick

android, java, layout

Solution

DerGolem gave the right answer but he then deleted it, so I report it here now:

//First we set visibility value of interested layout either to gone, visible or invisible
android:visibility="gone"

Then under onCreate write like:

//specify the button that has to handle visibility  
ImageButton properties = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.propBtn);

//And the layout we want to change is visibility
final LinearLayout propLayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.properLayout);

properties.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(View v) {
        if (propLayout.getVisibility() == View.VISIBLE){
            propLayout.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
        } else {
            propLayout.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        }
    }
});

Problem

I need to set this layout visible when i click a button, my java is like: ``` Layout propLayout = (Layout) findViewById(R.id.properLayout); public void propsBtn(View view) { propLayout.setVisiblity(View.Visible); } ``` I know I'm totally wrong with the layout line! I'll be very grateful if someone could show me how to set it right :) This is my XML: ``` <FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:background="@color/mainBackGround" tools:context="com.myapplication2.app.MainActivity"> <LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"> <RelativeLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:padding="8dp"> ...contents... </RelativeLayout> </LinearLayout> <LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:visibility="gone" android:id="@+id/properLayout"> <RelativeLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="300dp" android:layout_gravity="bottom" android:padding="8dp"> ...contents... </RelativeLayout> </LinearLayout> ```
