hide an android textview based on property

Question

I want to hide a textView based on a property value. There is a 'creditCard' model object imported into xml layout as a variable

  <TextView
      android:text="@={ creditCard.name }"
      android:visibility="@{ creditCard.name}" />

Is this a right way to show/hide view elements based on property value null/empty?

Answer 1

<TextView
      android:text="@={ creditCard.name }"
      android:visibility="@{ creditCard.hasName()}" />

And your method that inside CreditCard class should look like;

public int hasName(){
      return TextUtils.isEmpty(mName) ? View.GONE : View.VISIBLE
}

Good luck there
