Listview Textview Strikethrough

Question

Hello is it possible to have a listview containing textview be strikethrough ?

for example

if(itemText.equals("Done")){
//  strikethrough here. 
}else{
// no strikethrought here. 
}

the thing is, when I do this the item plus the first index of the listview gets strike through

is there a way to only strike the click item ?

please help me thank you

I hope I've finally understood what you want done. But here's a shot:

You have to add an onListItemClick method like so:

  @Override
  public void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {        
      super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);

      TextView item = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.textView);
      item.setPaintFlags(item.getPaintFlags() | Paint.STRIKE_THRU_TEXT_FLAG);
  }

Hopefully this is what you wanted as I've got it in one of my apps and it works perfectly. Let me know! Hope it does.

I'm not 100% sure this is what you want, but to display a strikethrough text in a textview, you can:

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

To undo the strike through:

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