view.invalidate invokes redraw of other view

Question

If I invalidate view1 then my view2 is redrawn. I like to only redraw my view1.

I have: 2 Custom Views -> view1 & view2 1 LinearLayout

I visually switch between the view1 and view2 with:

LinearLayout.removeAllViews();
LinearLayout.addView(view2) or LinearLayout.addView(view1);

How can I invalidate view1 without triggering the drawing of view2 ?

Answer 1

The better way is to change visibility of views instead of remove and add to container. It will work faster and view with visibility gone will not redraw on invalidate.
