Android ListView setVisibility不起作用

Question

I have a ListView in my RelativeLayout that is supposed to be hidden during a search is executed. Therefore I implemented the following code:

mProgressView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
mSearchListView.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
mSearchAdapter.search(query).onSuccess(new Continuation<Set<Integer>, Object>() {
    @Override
    public Object then(final Task<Set<Integer>> task) throws Exception {
        runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() 
                mSearchAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

                mProgressView.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
                mSearchListView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
            }
        });
        return null;
    }
});

Unfortunately, the ListView stays visible. The ProgressView start to spin successfully but the list view remains visible. Any hints on what to do?

Answer 1

When you say it stays 'visible' do you mean you see data in the listview or just that some space seems to be occupied by an invisible listview?

If the latter is the case then you should try making the listview GONE as -

mSearchListView.setVisibility(View.GONE);

instead of making it invisible
