title: Difference between foo.setVisibility(View.GONE) and parent.removeView(foo)
body: <p>If foo is a view, what is the difference between <code>foo.setVisibility(View.GONE)</code> and <code>fooParent.removeView(foo)</code>? I am particularly interested in memory consumption of the view, before and after both statements. </p>
  
  <p>Does a view with visibility set to GONE consume memory ? </p>
