Android : Android - unable to hide textView for a certain amount of time

I want to hide a textView on a click. A click triggers a timer for a certain time, after that time is up, the textView should be visible again. I try to hide the textView on a click, and make it visible again inside public void onFinish(). For some reason, the textView is always visible. I tried usingview.setVisability(View.INVISIBLE) and view.setVisability(View.GONE) but still no go.

textEdit.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
        textEdit.setVisibility(View.GONE);
        Log.i("textView: ","clicked");
        if (....){
            new CountDownTimer(25000, 1000) {
            {
             //some code...
            }

            public void onFinish() {
                otherTextView2.setText("done");
                textEdit.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
            }
          }.start();
        }
    }
}
