I have a text view in a library that, depending on the project, I want to set to visible or invisible. I tried to set a value in a xml value file

<string name="vis_text">invisible</string>

and then set it in the layout file

<TextView ...
  android:visibility="@+id/vis_text"
.../>

It didn't work as vis_text is a String while visibility expects an enum. The error said it all:

Error: String types not allowed (at 'visibility' with value '`@+id/vis_text')

Is there a way to achieve my goal?

Don't tell me to do it using code, I will if I cannot do it via xml file :)
