Two TextViews shows exclusively on a line using XML

My ListView item has two TextViews. I want to show one of them at a time using XML. I don't want to do this programmatically. How to do it?

For example: When TextView A has text, TextView B disappears. When TextView A is empty, TextView B appears.

enter image description here

My code 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="horizontal" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/groupNameTextView"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="50dip"
        android:text="TextView"
        android:textSize="20dip"
        android:textColor="@color/ForestGreen"
        />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/topRatedPlaceNameTextView"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="50dip"
        android:text="TextView"
        android:textSize="20dip" 
        android:textColor="@color/Azure"
        />

</LinearLayout>

Will you ever have both of them shown with text at the same time ? If not, and if you don't have style difference (text size/color), you could just use a single text view ?

Else, if A and B have different size / color / font / whatever, and assuming they will never be having text at the same time, using wrap_content as you do should ensure that A gets a width of 0 when it has no text, and B will take all the space. Else, if B has no text, A will take as much space as needed by its content.

TextView A has a text then in TextView B set setVisibility(View.VISIBLE) or setVisibility(View.VGONE) and same for TextView B. you do this in your CustomAdapter Class getView Method.

Sorry, you cant do that with xml, by Programmatically in your getView() of List's Adapter check like 

if(textview1.getText().toString.length()>0)
     textview2.setVisibilty(View.GONE);
else
     textview1.setVisibilty(View.GONE);
