Change LinearLayout height to 0 programmatically

Question

I am resizign LinearLayout from it's original height to 0 with:

ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = getLayoutParams();
params.height = newHeight;
requestLayout();

Everything works except newHeight = 0 - layout's height changes back to its original height. How can I avoid it ?

Setting visibility to GONE if newHeight == 0 does not help.

Try this.....

 LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.yourLayoutId);

 LinearLayout.LayoutParams lp = (LayoutParams) layout.getLayoutParams();
 lp.height = 0;
