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.
