Question

I have a EditText that I have set to invisible by default. I would like to make this box visible onclick of a ImageView, but cant find any documentation online to help me, how would I go about doing this?

Answer 1

In your xml

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/my_edit_text"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:singleLine="true"
    android:inputType="number"

    android:visibility="gone"

    android:paddingRight="8dp" />

In your Activity Class

import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;

public class MyActivity extends Activity {

    private EditText editTxt = null;
    private Button myBtn = null;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {

        super.onCreate(icicle);
        setContentView(R.layout.my_xml_layout);

        editTxt = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.my_edit_text);

        myBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.my_button);
        myBtn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                editTxt.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
            }
        });
    }

}
