How to handle visibility changes for a custom android view/widget

Question

Answer 1

I know how to change the visibility, would like to know if there is a listener which is called when we setVisibility on the view!

you have to subclass your view/widget and override setVisibility, and register a interface on which you will recive the notification. For instance:

public class MyView extends View {

  public interface MyListener {
    public void onSetVisibilityCalled();
  }

  public void registerListener(MyListener myListener) {
    this.mListener = myListener;
  }

 public void setVisibility (int visibility) {
   super.setVisibility(visibility);
   if (mListener != null)
     mListener.onSetVisibilityCalled();
 }

}
