Please tell me how to hide the text on a button in android.

When I try this code, the button is hidden but I just want to hide the text on the button.

Button b= (Button)findViewById(R.id.follow);
b.setVisibility(View.GONE);

Please tell me how to solve this.

Thank you.

Answer 1

I have a suggestion if you want to setText to a button but don't want to show it.

Just set the text in the xml

android:text="TEXT"

then make font to 0

android:textSize="0sp"

text exist but can't be seen.

Answer 2

On your button use mButton.setTextScaleX(0); so the text will be hidden and to show use mButton.setTextScaleX(1);
