I created a new Android Studio project with navigation box activity.
Then I added a simple TextView inside LinearLayout to content_main.xml. For this LinearLayout (also tried this with the standard RelativeLayout) I added a android:animateLayoutChanges="true"
Parameter.
If now I switch the TextView visibility between GONE and VISIBLE, the entire LinearLayout root of content_main.xml will be pushed and hidden under the toolbar.
here is my content_main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
tools:showIn="@layout/app_bar_main"
tools:context=".MainActivity"
android:background="#84d8ff">
<TextView android:text="Hello World!" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/textView2" />
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="New Button"
android:id="@+id/button"
android:layout_below="@+id/textView2"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="207dp" />
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#ff0004"
android:animateLayoutChanges="true">
<TextView android:text="Lorem Ipsum..."
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/test_item"
android:layout_marginTop="29dp" />
</LinearLayout>
Here is the image:

The blue background belongs to the root LinearLayout content_main.xml, the green background belongs to app_bar_main.xml, which includes content_main.xml
Does anyone know why this is happening and how to solve it?
