How to hide and show editText?

Anonymous User218014-Oct-2014
I have an editText(hidden by default) and a button. I want to show the editText on click of the button and hide when the button again is pressed. Also the editText should hide if the editText box loses focus. How can this be done? Thank you for the help in advanced.

You can use like this And the main concept here is editText.setVisibility(View.GONE).

Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);
        final EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edittext);
        button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                if(editText.getVisibility()==View.VISIBLE){
                    editText.setVisibility(View.GONE);
                } else {
                    editText.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                }
            }
        });
