Control Android TextView visibility run time programmatically

Question

In my Java Android application, in run time according to a condition I need to setvisible false in a TextView. How to do it run time programmatically?

Answer 1

You're looking for the setVisibility method in View.

textView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
textView.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);

It doesn't take a boolean because you can set it to either Invisible or Gone. If it's Gone, it will not take up any "space" in the layout.
