I must be missing something with android:visibility changes within a motion layout. Here’s a simplified version of my layout.

    &lt;MotionLayout&gt;
     &lt;ImageView android:id=&quot;@+id/HeaderBackground&quot; /&gt;
    Bunch of image views, Text views that are constrainted to the HeaderBackground. 
    &lt;RecyclerView android:visibility=&quot;visible&quot;&gt;
    &lt;EditText android:visibility=&quot;visible&quot;&gt;
    &lt;CustomViewGroup1 android:visibility=&quot;gone&quot;&gt;
    &lt;/MotionLayout&gt;

I have a motionScreen that sets a Transition onswipe based on the recycler view to reduce the height of the HeaderBackground and hide some of the images/text views (i.e a collasping toolbar).
However, if there’s some fatal error, I want to show CustomViewGroup1 on top/infront of the RecyclerView but toggling the visibility of the RecyclerView to gone and CustomViewGroup1 to visible doesn’t make the CustomViewGroup1 show.

I could move the CustomViewGroup group out of the MotionLayout and add a framelayout as the root of the activity and hide the whole MotionLayout. But this is less than ideal as I’d have to copy of the toolbar bar and icons. So I guess the question is about visibility changes and potentially z ordering?

I&#39;m using `androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.0.0-beta2`
