Try onTouch() instead of onClick(): Clickable TextView in Android

Answer 2

Hopefully this can help you to hide the buttons as well as show the buttons if they are hidden. You need to have three buttons in your layout file in order to follow this example.

Button b3 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button3);
     @Override
                    public void onClick(View v) {
                        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                        if (b1.isShown() && b2.isShown()) {
                            b1.setVisibility(View.GONE);
                            b2.setVisibility(View.GONE);

                        } else {
                            b1.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                            b2.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                        }
                    }
                });

Answer 3

DONT USE -

donebutton.setVisibility(4);

Instead use the static constants for this:

donebutton.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

What exactly means

done.setVisibility(0);

Isn't is supposed to be

donebutton.setVisibility(View.GONE);

Answer 4

Here you go:

Button theButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.theButton);
theButton.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
theButton.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);

phoneButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()
{ 
 @Override
 public void onClick(View v)
 {
  // DO STUFF
 }
});
