This example demonstrates how remove a button or make it invisible in android.

Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project.

Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
   xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="match_parent"
   android:orientation="vertical"
   tools:context=".MainActivity">
   <EditText android:id="@+id/speed" android:maxLines="1"
      android:layout_marginTop="2dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:ems="25" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:autoText="true" android:scrollHorizontally="true" />
   <Button android:id="@+id/button1"
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="button1" />
      <Button android:id="@+id/button2"
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text=" button2" />
</LinearLayout>

Step 3 − Add the following code to src/MainActivity.java

package com.example.sample;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
   OnClickListener listener1=null;
   OnClickListener listener2=null;
   Button button1;
   Button button2;
   @Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
      listener1=new OnClickListener() {
         public void onClick(View v) {
            setTitle("button1");
            button1.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
            button2.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
         }
      };
      listener2=new OnClickListener() {
         public void onClick(View v) {
            setTitle("button2");
            button2.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
            button1.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
         }
      };
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
      button1=(Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
      button1.setOnClickListener(listener1);
      button2=(Button) findViewById(R.id.button2);
      button2.setOnClickListener(listener2);
   }
}

Step 4 − Add the following code to Manifests/AndroidManifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.example.sample">
   <application
      android:allowBackup="true"
      android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
      android:label="@string/app_name"
      android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
      android:supportsRtl="true"
      android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
      <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
         <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
         </intent-filter>
      </activity>
   </application>
</manifest>
