Hide A Layout After 10 Seconds In Android?

Question

I have a layout displayed on a button click.I want to hide that layout after 10 seconds.

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(         


        

Answer 1

Use Handler to hide layout after 10 seconds. Use Post delayed method

Answer 2

Make use of Handler & Runnable.

You can delay a Runnable using postDelayed of Handler.

Runnable mRunnable;
Handler mHandler=new Handler();

mRunnable=new Runnable() {

            @Override
            public void run() {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                yourLayoutObject.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE); //If you want just hide the View. But it will retain space occupied by the View.
                yourLayoutObject.setVisibility(View.GONE); //This will remove the View. and free s the space occupied by the View    
            }
        };

Now inside onButtonClick event you have to tell Handler to run a runnable after X milli seconds:

mHandler.postDelayed(mRunnable,10*1000);

If you want to cancel this then you have to use mHandler.removeCallbacks(mRunnable);

Update (According to edited question) You just need to remove callbacks from Handler using removeCallbacks()

So just update your code inside onTouch method like this :

mVolLayout.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
mVolHandler.removeCallbacks(mVolRunnable);
mVolHandler.postDelayed(mVolRunnable, 10000);

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    pd=ProgressDialog.show(this,"","Loading, Please wait .. ",true);

    setTitle("set title");
    final Handler uiThreadCallback=new Handler();
    final Runnable runInUIThread= new Runnable(){
        public void run(){
            fnDraw();
            pd.dismiss();

        }
    }; 
    new Thread(){
        @Override public void run(){
            uiThreadCallback.post(runInUIThread);
        }
    }.start();
}
public void fnDraw(){
    setContentView(R.layout.define ur xml if any);
    i1=(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.i1);
    t1=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.t1);
    t2=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.t2);

    timerRegister=new Timer();
    lIteration=0;
    checkTime=new TimerTask(){
        public void run(){
            if(lIteration==1){
                timerRegister.cancel();
                uiDrawThreadCallback.post(runInUIDrawThread);
            }
            lIteration++;
            return;
        }
    };
    timerRegister.scheduleAtFixedRate(checkTime,0,10000);
}
final Handler uiDrawThreadCallback=new Handler();
final Runnable runInUIDrawThread= new Runnable(){
    @Override
    public void run(){
        fnDrawAgain();
    }
};
public void fnDrawAgain(){
    Intent intent=new Intent(this,new class you want to open.class);
    startActivity(intent);
}

}

try it m sure it gonna work in ur on create screen

Answer 4

The following piece of code hides your layout in 3 secs. You can change the time by changing the constant I have provided here for the delay.

         private void HideLayout() {

     final View view=volume_control_layout;
     view.postDelayed(new Runnable() {

        public void run() {
            if(!volume_controller.isPressed())
            {
            view.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
            }
            else
            {
                HideLayout();
            }
        }
    }, 3000); // (3000 == 3secs)

    }

Answer 5

none of those above are good solutions. Imagine that the view is not visible after 10s (eg: it was scrolled down) so the Visibility.GONE will not work on it. I am still looking for a solutions

Answer 6

You can use an Animation started when you click the button, with 10 seconds duration that fades out the layout and probably sets its visibility to GONE at the end.
