What is the difference between invisible and gone for the View visibility status?

The main difference between View.INVISIBLE and View.GONE in Android is how they affect the layout:

• View.INVISIBLE: The view is invisible, but it still takes up space in the layout and affects the positioning of other views[1][2]. The view is not drawn on the screen, but it maintains its size and position in the view hierarchy.

• View.GONE: The view is completely removed from the layout. It no longer takes up any space and other views are positioned as if the gone view did not exist at all[1][2]. The view is not drawn, and its space is reclaimed by its parent.

In summary:

• View.INVISIBLE hides the view ...
