How to check TextView Visibility using IF

Question

I have an onCheckChangedListener to show a textView depending on which radio button is selected. I have 1 question and 1 problem that I was wondering if anyone could help me with. Question: Can you set the radio groups default check value to NO radio button so that none are checked to start with? Problem: How can I use an IF statement to determine whether a text view is already "visible" and If it is then set it to "gone", I will include my current code. code: ``` @Override public void onCheckedChanged(RadioGroup arg0, int arg1) { switch(arg1){ case R.id.rfolk1: Folk1.start(); TvFolk1.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); TvFolk2.setVisibility(View.GONE); Play.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); Pause.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); Stop.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); Play2.setVisibility(View.GONE); Pause2.setVisibility(View.GONE); Stop2.setVisibility(View.GONE); break; case R.id.rfolk2: Folk2.start(); TvFolk2.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); TvFolk1.setVisibility(View.GONE); Play2.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE)…

Accepted Answer

The `View` class includes a `getVisibility()` method. Compare that:

Eg:

```
if (TvFolk1.getVisibility() == View.VISIBLE)
  TvFolk2.setVisibility(View.GONE);
```

To shorten down code, you can also make a method:

```
public static void goneIfVisible (View v)
{
  if (v.getVisibility() == View.VISIBLE)
      v.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
```

And keep in mind in Java, variables are lowercased, only use uppercase for class names.
