Maybe you attach you sub-Layouts to parent Layout which refreshes all
child elements when the layout changes.
You can hide Elements from a parent layout programmatically - which
works fine for my usecase.
onCreate : Creates all Elements that may or may not be visible.(In my
case is't a Dialog)
so before i call show() on the dialog element, i clean the "element
Container" where all my visible elements should be in.
1. layoutContainer.removeAllViews();
2. than i set my Values to Subviews and add their references to a
Array (Those Subviews where all already initialized in onCreate)
3. after i set all my texts and remembering what i wanted to show, i
iterate over the Array (mRenderCache)
for(View v: mRenderCache){
layoutContainer.addView(v);
}
4. Nothing is visible atm, but now i show the dialog by calling show()
