Not sure what you want exactly, but to hide any Views in Android, simply set the visibility :)

listview.setVisibility(View.GONE);

or View.INVISIBLE, if you want the view still occupy the space in the screen

listview.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);

to make it come back

listview.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
