Hiding all textViews in Android Studio with a white image
I’m trying to hide hide all contents of my screen for 10 seconds with a white image but it seems that the text appears on top of the white image no matter what. Is there a way to hide the textView (or any other imageViews in the future) using the white image? Thanks!
Here’s my main activity class:
@Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); final ImageView splash = findViewById(R.id.imageView); splash.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.FIT_XY); splash.postDelayed(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { splash.setVisibility(View.GONE); } }, 10000); }} Here’s my XML file:
<TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Hello World!" android:textSize="24sp" app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent" app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.544" app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent" app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent" app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" /> <ImageView android:id="@+id/imageView" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" app:srcCompat="@drawable/white" /> <TextView android:id="@+id/textView" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginStart="172dp" android:layout_marginTop="268dp" android:text="TextToHide" android:textSize="36sp" app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" /> 
If You want ImageView to be on TextView You have to first add to XML TextView then ImageView like this:
<TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Hello World!" android:textSize="24sp" app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent" app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.544" app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent" app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent" app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" /> <TextView android:id="@+id/textView" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginStart="172dp" android:layout_marginTop="268dp" android:text="TextToHide" android:textSize="36sp" app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" /> <ImageView android:id="@+id/imageView" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" app:srcCompat="@drawable/white" /> Now Your TextView will be behind ImageView
I don’t know what You want to do but I think it will be just easier to set TextView visibility to GONE or INVISIBLE than to put ImageView on content that You want to hide.
