android - view sliding over layout -

i have relative layout. within have many views edit text, text views , on. lots of animations in that. fine. @ 1 point, have requirement.

it password page. create , confirm password. 2 edittexts 1 after another. if password doesnt meet requirement, plain orange view should slide error message "invalid password".

so put create , confirm password in linear layout. linear layout slide up, letting user type in passwords. after validation, if there error, linear layout should slide down , plain view slide up. kept view invisible , when required made visible , wrote code slide up. same code works when use single edit text instead of linear layout. not working when using linear layout. doing wrong?

adding code it. code specific issue starts till end of coding

i declared linear layout view , not viewgroup.

edit: after doing analysis, found view trying slide after sliding down layout hidden somewhere in view hierarchy.

view.bringtofront() helps bring error view front , slides up.

but after problem is, after linear layout slide down, error view not sliding straight away. because using bringtofront(), displays view first on whole screen (with background color orange) , sliding starts.

i not sure whether correct fixed issue this.

1. no background color has been given view
2. i used errorview.bringtofront () , errorview.setvisibility(true) in animationend() of layout slidingdown animation listener.
3. i defined sliding animation errorview in same animationend() of layout sliding down listener
4. in animationstart() of errorview sliding animation listener, defined background color of errorview. working expected.

but let me know better way of doing this.

//declaration

view greyview, orangeview, yellowview, blueview, orangeerrorview, letsgetstartedview, welcomebckview, passwordmasterlayout, orangepwderrorview; textview welcometext,errortextview, letsgetstartedtextview, welcomebcktxtview, errorpwdmsg;

//password error handling

    orangepwderrorview = v.findviewbyid(r.id.orangepassworderrorview);     errorpwdmsg = (textview) v.findviewbyid(r.id.errorpasswordmessage); 

//layout code

<linearlayout     xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:orientation="vertical"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="match_parent"     android:id="@+id/sample_main_layout">      <framelayout         android:id="@+id/sample_content_fragment"         android:layout_weight="76.4"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="0px" />      <framelayout         android:id="@+id/bottompanel"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="0dp"         android:layout_weight="23.6">     </framelayout> </linearlayout> 

sample_content_fragment framelayout takes below code

 <relativelayout     android:layout_height="match_parent"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">      <view

the java logic in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30523599/sliding-up-and-down-android

please direct incorrect codings

i kept view invisible , when required made visible , wrote code slide up.

i think must in dialogfragment or custom alertdialog shown above layout, if dont want try envelop relativelayout in framelayout , adding in linearlayout example visout code difficult in problem is
