Show and hide a View with a slide up/down animation

Question

I have a LinearLayout that I want to show or hide with an Animation that pushes the layout upwards or downwards whenever I change its visibility.

I've seen a few samples out there but none of them suit my needs.

I have created two xml files for the animations but I do not know how to start them when I change the visibility of a LinearLayout.

Answer 1

With the new animation API that was introduced in Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) it is very simple to create such animations.

Sliding a View down by a distance:

view.animate().translationY(distance);

You can later slide the View back to its original position like this:

view.animate().translationY(0);

---

You can also easily combine multiple animations. The following animation will slide a View down by its height and fade it in at the same time:

// Prepare the View for the animation
view.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
view.setAlpha(0.0f);

// Start the animation
view.animate()
    .translationY(view.getHeight())
    .alpha(1.0f)
    .setListener(null);

You can then fade the View back out and slide it back to its original position. We also set an AnimatorListener so we can set the visibility of the View back to GONE once the animation is finished:

view.animate()
    .translationY(0)
    .alpha(0.0f)
    .setListener(new AnimatorListenerAdapter() {
        @Override
        public void onAnimationEnd(Animator animation) {
            super.onAnimationEnd(animation);
            view.setVisibility(View.GONE);
        }
    });

why view not visible once it gone? – Hachure

@Hachure You mean why is a View not drawn on the screen when you set its visibility to View.GONE? – Lactoflavin

i want to animate view when visible and when gone. but if i first gone view .it not able to visible and place of view is blank – Hachure

@Hachure What are you trying to achieve by animating a View when its visibility is set to View.GONE? If you set its visibility to anything besides View.VISIBLE then the View will not be visible. I don't understand what you are asking. If you want your animation to be visible then don't set the visibility of the View to View.GONE. – Lactoflavin

thanks it work when i removed view.setVisibility(View.GONE); – Hachure

@Xaver, same issue here not working even after removing view.SetVisibility(View.GONE) – Vigil

@PKR what kind of answer do you expect from me now? You are doing something wrong. But without having even the slightest bit of information I can't help you. – Lactoflavin

facing same issue what Ram was facing, at first time it works fine but from next time when i make that view in gone state and try to make that view visible again it doesn't appear. – Vigil

@PKR Just ask a question. Include all the relevant code and describe the exact problem and what you have tried so far. If you do that you will surely get a proper answer. – Lactoflavin

@XaverKapeller I think the problem many have is that the listener onAnimationEnd is called every time for a multi-occurring animation, which means that onAnimationEnd is called also when the view get shown, which sets its visibility to Gone, etc. – Dael

How do I solve the issue of not being visible again on 2nd time? – Quarrier

@Vincent_Paing What are you talking about? – Lactoflavin

View is visible once, and then on next time after it's have been animated to gone. It's not visible only for a short time, I've tried setListener(null) to remove existing listeners but it doesn't work either – Quarrier

@Vincent_Paing Are you setting the View to View.VISIBLE again? – Lactoflavin

Yes, set VISIBLE and then play the slide in animation again cause it to become GONE – Quarrier

Great answer. How would one combine this with ScrollView? So that when panel moves beyond boundaries, I could scroll down ? Thanx. – Lawtun

@Lawtun You are probably going to find your answer by googling around a bit, otherwise ask a new question. But if you ask a new question don't forget to show what you tried so far... – Lactoflavin

I figured it. I set a view below with height that of sliding view and set its visibility to "gone". When I animate, I make visibility visible and ScrollViw takes care of the rest. Seems like a hack but it works as needed) – Lawtun

setListener(null) when you want to make it visible again after once it gets gone. – Link

To everyone that are stuck with the issue of the view not being visible after it's gone, @XaverKapeller 's animation sets the view's alpha of zero, you must set the alpha and the translation of the view back to 1 and 0 respectively after the GONE animation in order to show the view afterwards. – Gaylor

answer should be structured so anyone use answer as method directly without any doubt. – Retrace

For people who had a problem getting the view to show after the first time, if your show/hide view is initialized in the hide position, when you do the first animation, view.getHeight() will return 0 since the view is GONE. To fix this, change the show Y translation from view.getHeight() to 0, and the hide Y translation from 0 to -1 * view.getHeight(). – Embrangle

Answer 2

I was having troubles understanding an applying the accepted answer. I needed a little more context. Now that I have figured it out, here is a full example:

MainActivity.java

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    Button myButton;
    View myView;
    boolean isUp;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        myView = findViewById(R.id.my_view);
        myButton = findViewById(R.id.my_button);

        // initialize as invisible (could also do in xml)
        myView.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
        myButton.setText("Slide up");
        isUp = false;
    }

    // slide the view from below itself to the current position
    public void slideUp(View view){
        view.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        TranslateAnimation animate = new TranslateAnimation(
                0,                 // fromXDelta
                0,                 // toXDelta
                view.getHeight(),  // fromYDelta
                0);                // toYDelta
        animate.setDuration(500);
        animate.setFillAfter(true);
        view.startAnimation(animate);
    }

    // slide the view from its current position to below itself
    public void slideDown(View view){
        TranslateAnimation animate = new TranslateAnimation(
                0,                 // fromXDelta
                0,                 // toXDelta
                0,                 // fromYDelta
                view.getHeight()); // toYDelta
        animate.setDuration(500);
        animate.setFillAfter(true);
        view.startAnimation(animate);
    }

    public void onSlideViewButtonClick(View view) {
        if (isUp) {
            slideDown(myView);
            myButton.setText("Slide up");
        } else {
            slideUp(myView);
            myButton.setText("Slide down");
        }
        isUp = !isUp;
    }
}

Notes

• Thanks to this article for pointing me in the right direction. It was more helpful than the other answers on this page.
• If you want to start with the view on screen, then don't initialize it as INVISIBLE.
• Since we are animating it completely off screen, there is no need to set it back to INVISIBLE. If you are not animating completely off screen, though, then you can add an alpha animation and set the visibility with an AnimatorListenerAdapter.

android:visibility="invisible" to initialise the view animation as a hide – Allista

I don't recommend use of animate.setFillAfter(true); if you have clickable views under the slided view it will not recive events – Room

Notice that without .setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE); the slide up function won't work as visually expected. – Overview

Translate Animation moves the view. If you want to animate view like its scaling itself then use ScaleAnimation anim = new ScaleAnimation(1, 1, 0, 1) – Colum

Note that TranslateAnimation won't move clickables if they are present in your view. It will just move pixels. This can be unexpected in most cases. Refer this to move clickables as well: https://mcmap.net/q/88037/-button-is-not-clickable-after-translateanimation – Entice

Answer 3

Now visibility change animations should be done via Transition API which available in support (androidx) package. Just call TransitionManager.beginDelayedTransition method with Slide transition then change visibility of the view.

import androidx.transition.Slide;
import androidx.transition.Transition;
import androidx.transition.TransitionManager;

private void toggle(boolean show) {
    View redLayout = findViewById(R.id.redLayout);
    ViewGroup parent = findViewById(R.id.parent);

    Transition transition = new Slide(Gravity.BOTTOM);
    transition.setDuration(600);
    transition.addTarget(R.id.redLayout);

    TransitionManager.beginDelayedTransition(parent, transition);
    redLayout.setVisibility(show ? View.VISIBLE : View.GONE);
}

activity_main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/parent"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/btn"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="play" />

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/redLayout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="400dp"
        android:background="#5f00"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />
</RelativeLayout>

@akubi yeah, it should be – Toilette

One of the best and easy answers! Thanks! – Morganica

just to note, this requires minSdkVersion 21 – Holna

@Holna no, classes are from androidx package. It works fine on pre 21 api. – Grubman

:thumbs_up: this got rid of a method ambiguity error I was getting – Holna

this is the best solution. Neat and clean :) thank you so much – Poliard

This solution has issues. Some of the animations don't work on API 29+ https://mcmap.net/q/88039/-transition-manager-sliding-a-view-out-is-not-working-as-wanted/11110509 – Glomerate

thumbs up, this should be the accepted answer – Ignorance

Hi is there a way to animate 2 views simultaneously on the same root? I read the documentation that TransitionManager.beginDelayedTransition only let you to animate 1 view at a time at the same root – Interaction

@DIRTYDAVE this solution works fine. The issue must be something not related to the Transition API. – Ornery

Answer 4

Easiest solution: set android:animateLayoutChanges="true" on the container holding your views.

To put it into some context: If you have a layout like below, all visibility changes to the views in this container will be animated automatically.

<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/container"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:animateLayoutChanges="true"
    >

    <Views_which_change_visibility>

</LinearLayout>

It is the easiest but it's behavior differs due to phone manufacturer and he's code changes – Overcharge

This animates the alpha, not the position. – Ravens

Yes, but that's what the original question was about if I understood it correctly. If you want to animate positions, you could use a RecyclerView that uses ViewHolders with stable ids. – Bookmark

in case it didn't work in nested views refer to this answer https://mcmap.net/q/88040/-animatelayoutchanges-does-not-work-well-with-nested-layout – Shanda

Answer 5

Kotlin

Based on Suragch's answer, here is an elegant way using View extension:

fun View.slideUp(duration: Int = 500) {
    visibility = View.VISIBLE
    val animate = TranslateAnimation(0f, 0f, this.height.toFloat(), 0f)
    animate.duration = duration.toLong()
    animate.fillAfter = true
    this.startAnimation(animate)
}

fun View.slideDown(duration: Int = 500) {
    visibility = View.VISIBLE
    val animate = TranslateAnimation(0f, 0f, 0f, this.height.toFloat())
    animate.duration = duration.toLong()
    animate.fillAfter = true
    this.startAnimation(animate)
}

And then wherever you want to use it, you just need myView.slideUp() or myView.slideDown()

Acapulco

Only bug is, it doesn't need "fillAfter=true" as it block child views click accessibility – Unassailable

Also You would probably need to add a listener to slideDown animation and make view gone onAnimationEnd. – Wreath

Answer 6

You can start the correct Animation when the visibility of the LinearLayout changes by creating a new subclass of LinearLayout and overriding setVisibility() to start the Animations. Consider something like this:

public class SimpleViewAnimator extends LinearLayout
{
    private Animation inAnimation;
    private Animation outAnimation;

    public SimpleViewAnimator(Context context)
    {
        super(context);
    }

    public void setInAnimation(Animation inAnimation)
    {
        this.inAnimation = inAnimation;
    }

    public void setOutAnimation(Animation outAnimation)
    {
        this.outAnimation = outAnimation;
    }

    @Override
    public void setVisibility(int visibility)
    {
        if (getVisibility() != visibility)
        {
            if (visibility == VISIBLE)
            {
                if (inAnimation != null) startAnimation(inAnimation);
            }
            else if ((visibility == INVISIBLE) || (visibility == GONE))
            {
                if (outAnimation != null) startAnimation(outAnimation);
            }
        }

        super.setVisibility(visibility);
    }
}

I actually like better the subclass approach. Thank you very much. – Tenderloin

This, is an awesome solution that I'm gonna implement in my BaseView. Thx for this! – Philologian

As this works when showing, when hiding, the view disappears before the animation can be seen. Any workarounds? – Heterochromatic

@BramVandenbussche This is a terrible solution. It makes the View responsible for its own animations which is NEVER what you want. Imagine you want to animate the View differently in another part of your app. What do you do then? Add a flag to not automatically animate the visibility? Subclass the View and override setVisibility() to remove the animation? Or even worse implement setVisibility() with another animation? It just gets uglier and uglier from there. Don't use this "solution". – Lactoflavin

Better call it AnimatedLinearLayout – Ballista

This is really nice. The way I had my layout set up already was just toggling visible/invisible, and this is the easiest way to add animation without changing too much. – Kraut

@McAdam331 No. The easiest way to add animation is just to add the android:animateLayoutChanges="true" attribute to your layout xml and then android will animate your appearing and disappearing Views automatically. – Lactoflavin

Winchell

Issues with this answer: 1) Terrible code formatting. 2) You use a code snippet to post code which actually cannot be run in the browser. This doesn't just add two useless buttons, but it also destroys syntax highlighting. 3) It's just some random code dump without any explanation or purpose. 4) You are changing the visibility while performing an animation. Aside from the fact that this is obvious code smell this will also not work properly. Changing visibility starts a new layouting process, only after that is finished the animation actually has values to work with. The list goes on and on... – Lactoflavin

I have already edited your answer to fix formatting and turned the code snippet into an actual code block. But you have to fill in the rest... – Lactoflavin

Sorry got it mate, i made up the code from yours because it doesn't work well for me ,this code of mine works.but changes needed in the way of posting i agree . – Winchell

@AmeenMaheen What is setAlpha for? – Cruel

@ Igor Ganapolsky it is used for transparency ie to give a fading effect – Winchell

Answer 8

you can slide up and down any view or layout by using bellow code in android app

boolean isClicked = false;
LinearLayout mLayoutTab = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.linearlayout);

if(isClicked) {
    isClicked = false;
    mLayoutTab.animate()
        .translationYBy(120)
        .translationY(0)     
        .setDuration(getResources().getInteger(android.R.integer.config_mediumAnimTime));
} else {
    isClicked = true;
    mLayoutTab.animate()
         .translationYBy(0)
         .translationY(120)
         .setDuration(getResources().getInteger(android.R.integer.config_mediumAnimTime));
}

Lon

what is 120? and what is 0? what's the unit for setDuration if I want to hardcode this? – Algae

here 120 and 0 is the distance related to Y axis if you put hard code than getting problem in large screen or tablet so, you need to put value from your string.xml value for all the different device. and duration is the time you want to show animation of layout....!!! sorry for my poor English...! – Lon

@varotariyavajsi This doesn't actually show/hide the visibility of a view. – Cruel

hello igor ganapolsky i know these...it is just translate view in y direction, if user need to show up and down like a bottom slider it will be working fine. – Lon

Answer 9

Using ObjectAnimator

private fun slideDown(view: View) {
    val height = view.height
    ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(view, View.TRANSLATION_Y, 0f, height.toFloat()).apply {
        duration = 1000
        start()
    }
}

private fun slideUp(view: View) {
    val height = view.height
    ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(view, View.TRANSLATION_Y, height.toFloat(), 0f)).apply {
        duration = 1000
        start()
    }
}

Immediacy

Minor improvments: We can use constant View.TRANSLATION_Y instead of "translationY" and also in the slide up ObjectAnimation we can do .apply { doOnEnd { view.visibility = View.GONE } .......}.start() – Temperature

0.toFloat() can also just be 0f – Granivorous

Answer 10

Use this class:

public class ExpandCollapseExtention {

 public static void expand(View view) {
    view.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

    final int widthSpec = View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);
    final int heightSpec = View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);
    view.measure(widthSpec, heightSpec);

    ValueAnimator mAnimator = slideAnimator(view, 0, view.getMeasuredHeight());
    mAnimator.start();
}


public static void collapse(final View view) {
    int finalHeight = view.getHeight();

    ValueAnimator mAnimator = slideAnimator(view, finalHeight, 0);

    mAnimator.addListener(new Animator.AnimatorListener() {

        @Override
        public void onAnimationEnd(Animator animator) {               
            view.setVisibility(View.GONE);
        }


        @Override
        public void onAnimationStart(Animator animation) {

        }


        @Override
        public void onAnimationCancel(Animator animation) {

        }


        @Override
        public void onAnimationRepeat(Animator animation) {

        }
    });
    mAnimator.start();
}


private static ValueAnimator slideAnimator(final View v, int start, int end) {

    ValueAnimator animator = ValueAnimator.ofInt(start, end);

    animator.addUpdateListener(new ValueAnimator.AnimatorUpdateListener() {

        @Override
        public void onAnimationUpdate(ValueAnimator valueAnimator) {

            int value = (Integer) valueAnimator.getAnimatedValue();
            ViewGroup.LayoutParams layoutParams = v.getLayoutParams();
            layoutParams.height = value;
            v.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
        }
    });
    return animator;

I had a corner case where my view's height was still zero so...

import android.animation.Animator;
import android.animation.AnimatorListenerAdapter;
import android.view.View;

public final class AnimationUtils {

  public static void slideDown(final View view) {
        view.animate()

                    @Override
                    public void onAnimationEnd(Animator animation) {
                        // superfluous restoration
                        view.setVisibility(View.GONE);
                        view.setAlpha(1.f);
                        view.setTranslationY(0.f);

        if (view.getHeight() > 0) {
            slideUpNow(view);
        } else {
            // wait till height is measured
            view.post(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    slideUpNow(view);
                }
            });
        }
    }

    private static void slideUpNow(final View view) {

Answer 12

With Kotlin extensions you can use this:

enum class SlideDirection{
    UP,
    DOWN,
    LEFT,
    RIGHT
}

enum class SlideType{
    SHOW,
    HIDE
}

fun View.slideAnimation(direction: SlideDirection, type: SlideType, duration: Long = 250){
    val fromX: Float
    val toX: Float
    val fromY: Float
    val toY: Float

Example for the extension:

view.slideAnimation(SlideDirection.UP, SlideType.HIDE)//to make it disappear through top of the screen
view.slideAnimation(SlideDirection.DOWN, SlideType.SHOW)//to make it reappear from top of the screen

view.slideAnimation(SlideDirection.DOWN, SlideType.HIDE)//to make it disappear through bottom of the screen
view.slideAnimation(SlideDirection.UP, SlideType.SHOW)//to make it reappear from bottom of the screen

If you want to show/hide many views together with Transition, you can can use TransitionSet (because you can not play 2 "single" Transition together)

fun slideTopBottomVisibility(topLayout: View, bottomLayout: View, show: Boolean) {
    val topTransition: Transition = Slide(Gravity.TOP)
    topTransition.duration = 600
    topTransition.addTarget(topLayout)

    val bottomTransition: Transition = Slide(Gravity.BOTTOM)
    bottomTransition.duration = 600
    bottomTransition.addTarget(bottomLayout)

    val transitionSet = TransitionSet()
    transitionSet.addTransition(topTransition)
    transitionSet.addTransition(bottomTransition)

    TransitionManager.beginDelayedTransition(topLayout.parent as ViewGroup, transitionSet)
    topLayout.visibility = if (show) View.VISIBLE else View.GONE
    bottomLayout.visibility = if (show) View.VISIBLE else View.GONE
}

Answer 14

You can used the simple three lines of code to show the animation...

//getting the hiding view by animation

 mbinding.butn.setOnClickListener {

                val SlideOutLeft = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.slide_out_left)
                simplelayout.visibility = View.INVISIBLE
                simplelayout.startAnimation(SlideOutLeft)


                val SlideInRight = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(applicationContext, R.anim.slide_in_right)
                animation1.visibility = View.VISIBLE
                animation1.startAnimation(SlideInRight)

            }
            //again unhide the view animation
            mbinding.buttn.setOnClickListener {


               val SlideInLeft=AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this,R.anim.slide_in_left)
                //set the layout
               simplelayout.visibility=View.VISIBLE
               simplelayout.startAnimation(SlideInLeft)

               val SlideOutRight=AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this,R.anim.slide_out_right)
               animation1.visibility=View.INVISIBLE
               animation1.startAnimation(SlideOutRight)

            }

Answer 15

Here is my solution. Just get a reference to your view and call this method:

public static void animateViewFromBottomToTop(final View view){

    view.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {

        @Override
        public void onGlobalLayout() {

            view.getViewTreeObserver().removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(this);

            final int TRANSLATION_Y = view.getHeight();
            view.setTranslationY(TRANSLATION_Y);
            view.setVisibility(View.GONE);
            view.animate()
                .translationYBy(-TRANSLATION_Y)
                .setDuration(500)
                .setStartDelay(200)
                .setListener(new AnimatorListenerAdapter() {

                    @Override
                    public void onAnimationStart(final Animator animation) {

                        view.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                    }
                })
                .start();
        }
    });
}

No need to do anything else =)

Lutero

Why would you need a GlobalLayoutListener to do this? Why are you setting the visibility on such a weird way? Why are you including things like a start delay which is irrelevant to question in your answer? – Lactoflavin

Answer 16

One of the simple ways:

containerView.setLayoutTransition(LayoutTransition())
containerView.layoutTransition.enableTransitionType(LayoutTransition.CHANGING)

And what else? Will there be an animation if I just set the view.visibility = View.GONE ??? – Dmso

Suragch's answer in Kotlin. This worked for me.

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

var isUp: Boolean = false

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

    var myView: View = findViewById(R.id.my_view)
    var myButton: Button = findViewById(R.id.my_button)

    //Initialize as invisible
    myView.visibility = View.INVISIBLE
    myButton.setText("Slide up")

    isUp = false

}


fun View.slideUp(duration: Int = 500){
    visibility = View.VISIBLE
    val animate = TranslateAnimation(0f, 0f, this.height.toFloat(), 0f)
    animate.duration = duration.toLong()
    animate.fillAfter = true
    this.startAnimation(animate)
}

fun View.slideDown(duration: Int = 500) {
    visibility = View.VISIBLE
    val animate = TranslateAnimation(0f, 0f, 0f, this.height.toFloat())
    animate.duration = duration.toLong()
    animate.fillAfter = true
    this.startAnimation(animate)
}

fun onSlideViewButtonClick(view: View){
    if(isUp){
        my_view.slideDown()

Here's another way to do for multiple Button(In this case ImageView)

MainActivity.java

findViewById(R.id.arrowIV).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {

                if (strokeWidthIV.getAlpha() == 0f) {
                    findViewById(R.id.arrowIV).animate().rotationBy(180);

                    strokeWidthIV.animate().translationXBy(-120 * 4).alpha(1f);
                    findViewById(R.id.colorChooseIV).animate().translationXBy(-120 * 3).alpha(1f);
                    findViewById(R.id.saveIV).animate().translationXBy(-120 * 2).alpha(1f);
                    findViewById(R.id.clearAllIV).animate().translationXBy(-120).alpha(1f);
                } else {
                    findViewById(R.id.arrowIV).animate().rotationBy(180);

                    strokeWidthIV.animate().translationXBy(120 * 4).alpha(0f);
                    findViewById(R.id.colorChooseIV).animate().translationXBy(120 * 3).alpha(0f);
                    findViewById(R.id.saveIV).animate().translationXBy(120 * 2).alpha(0f);

Answer 20

A complete answer which toggles the view visibility in onClick, also flips arrow upside down, and also moves other views up smoothly when hiding the component.

private fun toggleRecyclerViewVisibility(
    recyclerView: RecyclerView,
    container: FrameLayout,
    arrow: ImageView
) {
    //toggle arrow direction, also block user clicks until animation finishes.
    arrow
        .animate()
        .rotation(
            if (arrow.rotation == 0F)
                180F
            else 0F
        )
        .withStartAction { container.isClickable = false }
        .withEndAction { container.isClickable = true }
        .start()

    //toggle recyclerview visibility with animation.
    with(recyclerView) {
        var cof = -1
        var vis = View.GONE
        var alph = 0F

        if (visibility == View.GONE) {
            cof = 0
            vis = View.VISIBLE
            alph = 1F
        }
        animate()
            .translationY(height.toFloat() * cof)
            .alpha(alph)
            .withStartAction {//in case showing the recyclerview show it at the beginning.
                if (vis == View.VISIBLE)
                    visibility = View.VISIBLE
            }
            .withEndAction {//in case hiding the recyclerview hide it at the end.
                if (vis == View.GONE)
                    visibility = View.GONE
            }
            .start()
    }
}

the views looks like this

        <LinearLayout
            android:id="@+id/subRootLinearView"
            android:animateLayoutChanges="true"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:orientation="vertical">

            <!--other views-->
            <LinearLayout
                android:id="@+id/Container"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:orientation="vertical">

                <FrameLayout
                    android:id="@+id/header"
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:background="@color/backgroundGray"
                    android:padding="16dp">

                    <TextView
                        android:id="@+id/text_view"
                        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                        android:text="@string/awaitingConfirmation"
                        android:textColor="@color/colorText"
                        android:textSize="16sp" />

                    <ImageView
                        android:id="@+id/arrow_image_view"
                        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                        android:layout_gravity="end|center"
                        android:src="@drawable/ic_arrow" />
                </FrameLayout>

                <LinearLayout
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:orientation="vertical">

                    <androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
                        android:id="@+id/recycler"
                        android:layout_width="match_parent"
                        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                        app:layoutManager="androidx.recyclerview.widget.LinearLayoutManager" />
                </LinearLayout>
            </LinearLayout>

            <!--other views-->
            </LinearLayout>

then inside your code you add this line first, which solves animateLayoutChanges not working in big nested views, which basically makes other views move up smoothly when hiding the recyclerview

subRootLinearView.layoutTransition.enableTransitionType(LayoutTransition.CHANGING)

also your parent linear layout should include this attribute

android:animateLayoutChanges="true"

then call the method with your views

 toggleRecyclerViewVisibility(
                    recycler,
                    header,
                    arrowImageView
                )
