Can I create a strikethrough text in Android, I mean adding a special value in the TextView tag that can make this possible?

Answer 1

try this :

richTextView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.rich_text);  

    // this is the text we'll be operating on  
    SpannableString text = new SpannableString("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet");  

    text.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.RED), 0, 5, 0);  

    // make "ipsum" (characters 6 to 11) one and a half time bigger than the textbox  
    text.setSpan(new RelativeSizeSpan(1.5f), 6, 11, 0);  

    // make "dolor" (characters 12 to 17) display a toast message when touched  
    final Context context = this;  
    ClickableSpan clickableSpan = new ClickableSpan() {  
        @Override  
        public void onClick(View view) {  
            Toast.makeText(context, "dolor", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();  
        }  
    };  
    text.setSpan(clickableSpan, 12, 17, 0);  

    // make "sit" (characters 18 to 21) struck through  
    text.setSpan(new StrikethroughSpan(), 18, 21, 0);  

    // make "amet" (characters 22 to 26) twice as big, green and a link to this site.  
    // it's important to set the color after the URLSpan or the standard  
    // link color will override it.  
    text.setSpan(new RelativeSizeSpan(2f), 22, 26, 0);  
    text.setSpan(new URLSpan("http://www.djsad.com"), 22, 26, 0);  
    text.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.GREEN), 22, 26, 0);  

    // make our ClickableSpans and URLSpans work  
    richTextView.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());  

    // shove our styled text into the TextView          
    richTextView.setText(text, BufferType.SPANNABLE);
