                switch (checkedId) {
                    case R.id.triptype1:
                        view.findViewById(R.id.trip2).setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
                       view.findViewById(R.id.trip21).setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
                       /* view.findViewById(R.id.Rpickdte).setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
                        view.findViewById(R.id.Rpickdtetx).setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);*/
                        break;
                    case R.id.triptype2:
                        ReturnTrip(view);
                        break;

 view.findViewById(R.id.trip2).setVisibility(View.GONE);
                                view.findViewById(R.id.trip21).setVisibility(View.GONE);
                   /*            view.findViewById(R.id.Rpickdte).setVisibility(View.GONE);
                             view.findViewById(R.id.Rpickdtetx).setVisibility(View.GONE);*/
                    break;

set them to "Gone" instead of "invisible" will help to retain space

Try to use View.GONE instead of View.INVISIBLE.

The documentation says:

View.GONE: This view is invisible, and it doesn't take any space for layout purposes.

View.INVISIBLE: This view is invisible, but it still takes up space for layout purposes.

If you want to know more, you can look at this question.
