Is there a way to set the text in the text view to invisible?

I can't change its color or use alpha because the background may change and I won't know its color! Is there any other way to set it to invisible ? Also I don't want to set the text view invisible since I want the background to be visible!

why not, set text value as empty string when you want to make it invisible. keep backup of the original value so that you can use it later when required.

Try:

textView.setTextColor(getResources().getColor(android.R.color.transparent));

You can set a textview to INVISIBLE:

myTextView.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);

That way the textview will still be present but not seen

Something like this..

String text = "Invisible Text";

TextView text1 = new TextView();
text1.setTag(text);
