Hidden Field in ListView Android?

Question

Hi guys,

I'm wondering if there is a way to hide some field in Android. I tried with setting the value in a textedit and then make it invisible, but the result is that the value is invisible, but the control takes space. In my case, I want to store some extra value in a row of a ListView, instead of using hidden fields, is there another solution? Thank you in advance guys, bye!

Use View's public static final int GONE field.

In your case textEdit.setVisibility(View.GONE), or in xml android:visibility="gone"

Setting the view to INVISIBLE does not take layout into consideration, but GONE does.
