Android, How To Draw Dotted Line In Edittext

I refered to this link: How do I make a dotted/dashed line in Android?, and used DashPathEffect. But this does not work for me? why? my code: public class NoteEditText extends Edit

Solution 1:

The method setPathEffect is not supported by hardware acceleration. By default it is turned on (I think since Android 4.0)

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/hardware-accel.html#unsupported

You can turn off hardware acceleration inside the constructor with following code snippet:

setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE, null);

Solution 2:

newfloat[]{5,5,5,5}

try

newfloat[]{5,10,15,20}

Solution 3:

This should work.

EditText editText=(EditText) v.findViewById(android.R.id.text1);

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

Solution 4:

I don't think you should use the "for loop" to draw line.set setStrokeWidth($diameter) maybe useful. I have write a simple view supporting this function,detail Here
