Remove a Paint Flag in Android

Question

My code looks like this:

    TextView task_text = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.task_text);
    task_text.setPaintFlags( task_text.getPaintFlags() | Pain         


        

Answer 1

To remove a flag, this should work:

task_text.setPaintFlags( task_text.getPaintFlags() & (~ Paint.STRIKE_THRU_TEXT_FLAG));

Which means set all the set flags, except of Paint.STRIKE_THRU_TEXT_FLAG.

To check if a flag is set (Edit: for a moment I forgot it is java...):

if ((task_text.getPaintFlags() & Paint.STRIKE_THRU_TEXT_FLAG) > 0)

Answer 2

In Kotlin

task_text.paintFlags = task_text.paintFlags and Paint.STRIKE_THRU_TEXT_FLAG.inv()

Answer 3

In my opinion, just set its default flag is a better choice. Otherwise, the text will be looked jagged. The default flag in TextView (EditText extends TextView) is

Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG

And set a new paintflag will replace the previous one. I have made a test to verify it. So, just like this:

task_text.setPaintFlags(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);

Answer 4

Use exclusive OR operator ^ instead of | with &(~) combination:

// setup STRIKE_THRU_TEXT_FLAG flag if current flags not contains it
task_text.setPaintFlags(task_text.getPaintFlags() ^ Paint.STRIKE_THRU_TEXT_FLAG));

// second call will remove STRIKE_THRU_TEXT_FLAG
task_text.setPaintFlags(task_text.getPaintFlags() ^ Paint.STRIKE_THRU_TEXT_FLAG));

Check if flag is currently setup:

if((task_text.getPaintFlags() & Paint.STRIKE_THRU_TEXT_FLAG) == Paint.STRIKE_THRU_TEXT_FLAG)

Answer 5

This also works:

task_text.setPaintFlags(0);

|--------------------------------------------------|
|<*>| Underline with a textView :
|--------------------------------------------------|

|*| Add Underline :

 txtVyuVar.setPaintFlags(txtVyuVar.getPaintFlags() | Paint.UNDERLINE_TEXT_FLAG);

---

|*| Remove Underline :

txtVyuVar.setPaintFlags(txtVyuVar.getPaintFlags() ^ Paint.UNDERLINE_TEXT_FLAG);

---

|*| Check Underline :

if((txtVyuVar.getPaintFlags() & Paint.UNDERLINE_TEXT_FLAG) == Paint.UNDERLINE_TEXT_FLAG)
{
    // Codo Todo
}

---

|*| Toggle Underline :

if((txtVyuVar.getPaintFlags() & Paint.UNDERLINE_TEXT_FLAG) == Paint.UNDERLINE_TEXT_FLAG)
{
    txtVyuVar.setPaintFlags(txtVyuVar.getPaintFlags() ^ Paint.UNDERLINE_TEXT_FLAG);
}
else
{
    txtVyuVar.setPaintFlags(txtVyuVar.getPaintFlags() | Paint.UNDERLINE_TEXT_FLAG);
}
