In android studio am I able to hide and show a label/textview? if so what would i use?

Question

Is there a thing like textview visibility on and off. Thanks in advance.

Solution 1

In the XML you can set android:visibility="invisible" or "visible" In the Java code you can type YourTextView.setVisiblity(View.VISIBLE)

Solution 2

You can use android:visibility="visible" for setting visibility in xml. The options are visible|invisible|gone.

Or textview.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE) in code.
