Is there an easy way to strike through text in an app widget?

android widget textview strikethrough
Antonio picture Antonio · Oct 7, 2010 · Viewed 100.6k times · Source

I was wondering if there is an easy way to strike text within an app widget in Android. In a normal activity, it is pretty easy, using textview flags:

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

But since in an app widget, I can use only remoteviews... I do not know if this is possible

Anyone know something about this?

Thanks!

To do it programatically in a textview, untested in other views >>

TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.mytext);
tv.setText("This is strike-thru");
tv.setPaintFlags(tv.getPaintFlags() | Paint.STRIKE_THRU_TEXT_FLAG);
