libgdx. make Texture to Show/Hide/setVisible in android

I want the Texture to set visible or not. So that I can show one texture when other is hidden or set false on visible.. how do I do it? In render method.

Something like:

Texture tex = new Texture(Gdx.files.internal("and.jpg");
tex.show or tex.hide

Or tell me a method to flip an image horizontally in render method..

Solution

  • Make a texture region of it and flip it.

    TextureRegion tr=new TextureRegion(tex);

tr.flip(true,false); // this will flip the textureregion only horizontally, write this code again to flip it back!

    Now draw your texture region.

    batch.draw(tr,x,y);

    If you want to show and hide your texture create a boolean variable.

    boolean showTextureRegion=true;

    In your draw method will be like

    if(showTextureRegion)
 batch.draw(tr,x,y);

    And to hide it just make the showTextureRegion true.
