can I define middle-lined text in an Android layout xml file

Question

How can I define middle-lined(strikethrough) text in an Android layout xml file?

Answer 1

To strike through, you can use a background image to create the strikethrough effect:

 android:background="@drawable/strike_through"

Where strike_through drawable is a 9-patch image that keeps a line through the middle. This is the easiest way to implement it.

or you can do it programatically as this.

TextView t = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text);
t.setText("Text here");
t.setPaintFlags(t.getPaintFlags() | Paint.STRIKE_THRU_TEXT_FLAG);
