java - How to hide Android LinearLayout in onCreate? -

i've got android switch when turned on, expands linearlayout below it. use animation. when start screen button turned off, linearlayout shown. when turn switch on, , off again, indeed hides linearlayout, said, whenever screen starts, linearlayout shown default. know how can hide linearlayout default when screen starts?

the code have follows:

public class myclass extends activity implements oncheckedchangelistener {     switch myswitch;      @override     public void oncreate(bundle savedinstancestate) {         super.oncreate(savedinstancestate);         setcontentview(r.layout.my_layout);          myswitch = (switch) findviewbyid(r.id.my_switch);         myswitch.setoncheckedchangelistener(this);     }      @override     public void oncheckedchanged(compoundbutton buttonview, boolean ischecked) {         if (ischecked){             linearlayout view = (linearlayout) findviewbyid(r.id.view_to_expand);             animation anim = expand(view, true);             view.startanimation(anim);         }         else {             linearlayout view = (linearlayout) findviewbyid(r.id.view_to_expand);             animation anim = expand(view, false);             view.startanimation(anim);         }     }      public static animation expand(final view v, final boolean expand) {         try {             method m = v.getclass().getdeclaredmethod("onmeasure", int.class, int.class);             m.setaccessible(true);             m.invoke(v, measurespec.makemeasurespec(0, measurespec.unspecified), measurespec.makemeasurespec(((view) v.getparent()).getmeasuredwidth(), measurespec.at_most));         } catch (exception e) {             e.printstacktrace();         }         final int initialheight = v.getmeasuredheight();         if (expand) {             v.getlayoutparams().height = 0;         } else {             v.getlayoutparams().height = initialheight;         }         v.setvisibility(view.visible);         animation = new animation() {             @override             protected void applytransformation(float interpolatedtime,                     transformation t) {                 int newheight = 0;                 if (expand) {                     newheight = (int) (initialheight * interpolatedtime);                 } else {                     newheight = (int) (initialheight * (1 - interpolatedtime));                 }                 v.getlayoutparams().height = newheight;                 v.requestlayout();                 if (interpolatedtime == 1 && !expand)                     v.setvisibility(view.gone);             }              @override             public boolean willchangebounds() {                 return true;             }         };         a.setduration(250);         return a;     } } 

you can try use viewswitcher. add xml layout , add linearlayout in , empty layout well. on application start can start empty layout , switch other one

<viewswitcher xmlns:android = "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:id="@+id/layoutswitcher"     android:layout_width="fill_parent"     android:layout_height="fill_parent" >      <linearlayout></linearlayout>      <linearlayout         android:layout_width="fill_parent"         android:layout_height="fill_parent"         android:padding="6dip" >          <imageview....      </<linearlayout> </viewswitcher> 

then in code

switcher = (viewswitcher) findviewbyid(r.id.layoutswitcher); switcher.shownext();
