AddView Not Visible In Custom FrameLayout But Clickable

Solution 1:

instead of creating your own custom view just for switching views, why not use ViewSwitcher instead?

the way it works is that you put 2 views inside the viewSwitcher, one is prbably the progressBar (or a layout that holds it and maybe a textView) , and the other one is the content itself.

when you are ready to do the switching , you can use viewSwitcher.showNext() .

in order to be sure the correct view is shown, you can check what is returned from getCurrentView() .
