Strike-Through of Text on UI Component

Today i am going to show you how to Strike through the text attached UI Component of Android As shown below

Step-1   First write the code for XML layout
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:text="@string/hello_world" />

    <RadioButton
        android:id="@+id/radioButton1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_above="@+id/textView"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_marginBottom="44dp"
        android:text="RadioButton" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_above="@+id/radioButton1"
        android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/textView"
        android:layout_marginBottom="23dp"
        android:text="Button" />

</RelativeLayout>
Step-2  write the below code in MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends Activity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
TextView strike_through = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView);
Button btn = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
RadioButton radio_btn = (RadioButton)findViewById(R.id.radioButton1);
strike_through.setText("This is strike-thru");
// Strike-through code for TextView
strike_through.setPaintFlags(strike_through.getPaintFlags()|Paint.STRIKE_THRU_TEXT_FLA);
// Strike-through code for Button
 btn.setPaintFlags(btn.getPaintFlags()|Paint.STRIKE_THRU_TEXT_FLAG);
//Strike-through code for RadioButton
  radio_btn.setPaintFlags(radio_btn.getPaintFlags()|Paint.STRIKE_THRU_TEXT_FLAG);
}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}

}
Step-3 for removing strike-through you can use below code for UIcomponent
yourUIcomponent.setPaintFlags(yourUIcomponent.getPaintFlags()|Paint.STRIKE_THRU_TEXT_FLAG);


Thats it! Run your project and see result as shown above in image.

easy way to integrate PayPal SDK in your Android App for in App purchase


  1. first go the this link paypal SDK for downloading updated PayPal SDK (Version 2.0.1)for Android.

  7. the line shown in step-5 indicate the PayPal Server Enviorment where we test our App there are 2 more  options  apart from above which is ENVIRONMENT_PRODUCTION   and     ENVIRONMENT_SANDBOX. 
  8. for publishing app into market you would need to use PayPalConfigurnatio.ENVIRONMENT_PRODUCTION environment for real time payment this is also known as Live Environment. while  PayPalConfigurnatio.ENVIRONMENT_SANDBOX used for testing app without real time payment.
  9. Second line You could see is  private static final String CONFIG_CLIENT_ID = "credential from developer.paypal.com";  
  10. Your mobile integration requires different client_id values for each environment: Live and Test (Sandbox).
  11. Go to this link register your app for register your app for getting client_id
  12. if you have PayPal Account the you can directly logged in and follow instruction for registering app otherwise you would need to sign up .
  13. after step-12 you would click on create app button and follow the step to register your app and get client_id 
  14. replace CONFIG_CLIENT_ID with your app client_id
  15. create test account from this link whose type would be personal not Bussiness
  16. finally change CONFIG_ENVIRONMENT value  to PayPalConfigurnatio.ENVIRONMENT_SANDBOX
  17. finally run your app and test in SANDBOX environment with test account without any real Transaction
