How to draw a line in android

Question

Can anybody tell how to draw a line in Android, perhaps with an example?

Answer 1

Another approach to draw a line programatically using ImageView

import android.app.Activity;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.graphics.Paint;
import android.graphics.Path;
import android.graphics.Typeface;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.ImageView;

public class Test extends Activity {
  ImageView drawingImageView;

  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    drawingImageView = (ImageView) this.findViewById(R.id.DrawingImageView);
    Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap((int) getWindowManager()
        .getDefaultDisplay().getWidth(), (int) getWindowManager()
        .getDefaultDisplay().getHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
    Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitmap);
    drawingImageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);

    // Line
    Paint paint = new Paint();
    paint.setColor(Color.GREEN);
    paint.setStrokeWidth(10);
    int startx = 50;
    int starty = 100;
    int endx = 150;
    int endy = 210;
    canvas.drawLine(startx, starty, endx, endy, paint);

  }
}

package com.example.helloandroid;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.graphics.Paint;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;

public class HelloAndroid2Activity extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
DrawView drawView;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    drawView = new DrawView(this);
    drawView.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);
    setContentView(drawView);
}
class DrawView extends View {
        Paint paint = new Paint();

        public DrawView(Context context) {
            super(context);
            paint.setColor(Color.BLUE);
        }
        @Override
        public void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
             super.onDraw(canvas);
                canvas.drawLine(10, 20, 30, 40, paint);
                canvas.drawLine(20, 10, 50, 20, paint);

        }
}
}

Simple one

 <TextView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="1dp"
    android:background="#c0c0c0"
    android:id="@+id/your_id"
    android:layout_marginTop="160dp" />
