How to get image to hide and become visible again with album art? android xml?

Why don't you try hiding your entire layout instead of hiding only the elements. Hide your layout when paused and bring it back when you want.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
