You d use the corresponding method getVisibility     Method names prefixed with  get  and  set  are Java s convention for representing properties   Some language have actual language constructs for properties but Java isn t one of them   So when you see something labeled  setX   you can be 99  certain there s a corresponding  getX  that will tell you the value

If the image is part of the layout it might be  View VISIBLE  but that doesn t mean it s within the confines of the visible screen   If that s what you re after  this will work   Rect scrollBounds   new Rect    scrollView getHitRect scrollBounds   if  imageView getLocalVisibleRect scrollBounds            imageView is within the visible window   else          imageView is not within the visible window

Or you could simply use  View isShown

Although View getVisibility   does get the visibility  its not a simple true false  A view can have its visibility set to one of three things   View VISIBLE The view is visible   View INVISIBLE The view is invisible  but any spacing it would normally take up will still be used  Its  invisible   View GONE The view is gone  you can t see it and it doesn t take up the  spot    So to answer your question  you re looking for   if  myImageView getVisibility      View VISIBLE           Its visible   else          Either gone or invisible
