I’ll introduce what I learned about the difference between View.INVISIBLE and View.GONE in Android app development.

INVISIBLE

• Makes the view invisible
• However, space is still reserved in the layout
• The space for the hidden view is not collapsed

GONE

• Makes the view invisible
• And does not reserve space in the layout
• The space for the hidden view is collapsed

That’s all from the Gemba, where we want to know the difference between View.INVISIBLE and View.GONE.
