onClickListener does not hide my text

Question

MainActivity

...

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements 
View.OnClickListener{
    TextView tv;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textID);
        Button b = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);
        b.setOnClickListener(this);
    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v){
        tv.setText(R.string.text); 
    }
}

string.xml

<resources>
    <string name="text">This text do not hide!</string>
</resources>

This code is directly showing the text which I will try to show when I click the button.

My question is, where am I making the mistake? Why does this code not work?

Answer 1

to hide a view :

tv.setVisibility(View.GONE);

for ex.

@Override
public void onClick(View v){
    tv.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}

to empty TextView :

tv.setText("");

for ex.

@Override
public void onClick(View v){
    tv.setText(""); 
}
