Hello, My Activity goes like this : It has a FrameLayout in which I've put a VideoView playing some video. At some point during execution, I want to display a few buttons over the video. In order to do so, I add a LinearLayout with a transparent background and containing the buttons to the FrameLayout so that the buttons display on top of the VideoView with the video still visible. This doesn't work and the buttons refuse to show but they do show if I change the screen orientation. My guess is that Android doesn't want to change the displayed view during execution but only when creating the display.
I've tried, instead of adding the LinearLayout when I need it, to have it present right from the start of the Activity but with visibility INVISIBLE and then make it VISIBLE when wanted. This brings the exact same result. So my question is : is there a way to force Android to refresh its display during the Activity so that the View shows ? Another thing that bugs me is, although I can't summon the thing properly, when I want to hide or delete these buttons it does it just fine so why is it only working in one way ? Hope somebody can help. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
