How Can I Draw A Vertical Line In An Activity When A Button Is Pressed?

I want to draw a straight vertical line in my Android activity when a button is pressed. Please explain how I can draw the line with a position & length I want. Elaboration: I

Solution 1:

I have solved it myself. All you need to do is define a View with appropriate parameters and fill the background with color. You may want to use nested linear layouts for positioning the line correctly.

<View 
      android:id="@+id/View01"
      android:layout_width="2dip"
      android:layout_height="500dip"
      android:background="#2B497B"
/>

So if it may be useful to anyone else, I have posted the answer here myself!

Solution 2:

To draw dynamically u can use below code snippet:

Viewview=newView(this);
 view.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(2,LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT));
 view.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLACK);
 layout.add(view);

Solution 3:

The linear layout mentioned can be used as a divider by itself

<LinearLayoutandroid:layout_width="fill_parent"android:layout_height="3dp"android:layout_marginTop="152dp"android:background="@color/black"android:orientation="horizontal"
       />

I did this as my screen required a horizontal seperator dividing the screen into two halves..
