Question

I use this to have stike through a textView

textView.setPaintFlags(textView.getPaintFlags() | Paint.STRIKE_THRU_TEXT_FLAG);

but now I wanna personalize the color and rotate it 45° to fit the diagonal of the content.

What I tied:

I though about extending the textview widget and override onDraw method .. but I’m very beginner at designing …

so any help how to draw the red(color) rotated line on the textView ?

@Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
    Paint paint = new Paint();
    paint.setColor(strikeThroughColor);
    paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);
    paint.setFakeBoldText(true);
    paint.setStrikeThruText(true);
    paint.setStrokeWidth(strikeThroughWidth);
    paint.setFlags(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);
    super.onDraw(canvas);
    float width = getWidth();
    float height = getHeight();
    canvas.drawLine(width / 10, height / 10, (width - width / 10), (height - height / 10), paint);
}
