Hi guys,

I am developing an Android app but I'm still pretty new. I want to have a button, and when you push that button, a few TextViews and Buttons will appear. So I have a main linear layout, and then another linear layout nested inside containing the things I want hidden. I have the nested linear layout set to android:visibility="gone".

The problem I am having is that it only shows the first item inside the hidden linear layout instead of all of them. The way I try to make it appear is

    vgAddView = (ViewGroup)findViewById(R.id.add_details);

    btnAche.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
        public void onClick(View v){
            vgAddView.setVisibility(0);
        }
    });

My XML file is this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    >
<Button 
    android:text="@string/but_stomach_ache" 
    android:id="@+id/but_stomach_ache" 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</Button>
<Button 
    android:text="@string/but_food" 
    android:id="@+id/but_food" 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</Button>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:id="@+id/add_details"
    android:visibility="gone">
    <TextView
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:text="@string/when_happen">
        </TextView>
    <Button 
        android:text="@string/happen_now" 
        android:id="@+id/happen_now" 
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">
        </Button>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
