title: Effect of setting parent view visiblity on its children
body: <p>This question arises from having to show/hide different views dynamicly. View's have 3 visibility settings - visible, invisible, and gone. If you have a parent view, for example a <code>LinearLayout</code>, that has several child views (doesn't matter what they are) is setting the visibility of the parent the same as seting the visiblity on all the children independently? For example if I say</p>
  
  <pre><code>LinearLayout container = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.layout_1);
  container.setVisiblity(View.GONE);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is that the same as finding each individual child view and setting all those visiblities to <code>View.GONE</code>? What if the parent was not <code>View.GONE</code> but <code>View.INVISIBLE</code>? Are all the children still drawn but just not seen?</p>
