Fragment: Relativelayout Visibility Not Changeable In Oncreateview

(Im using Kotlin) So here is my OnCreateView in the Fragment. override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater?, container: ViewGroup?, savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View? {

Solution 1:

Other than the ID seemingly not being right, as mentioned in a comment above...

Since at this stage your View is not set for your Fragment yet (you haven't returned it to the framework), you can't call findViewById on the Fragment itself, but you can make a findViewById call on the newly inflated View instead:

val view: View = inflater!!.inflate(R.layout.fragment_bots, container, false)
val bd2 = view.findViewById(R.id.BotDiv2)
bd2.visibility = View.VISIBLE

If you're using Kotlin Android Extensions, you can do the same with this syntax:

val view: View= inflater!!.inflate(R.layout.fragment_bots, container, false)
view.BotDiv2.visibility = View.VISIBLE
