How to Strike Through Text in an App Widget

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

You can use this:

remoteviews.setInt(R.id.YourTextView, "setPaintFlags", Paint.STRIKE_THRU_TEXT_FLAG | Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);

Of course you can also add other flags from the android.graphics.Paint class.

Strike through substring of text in Android widget

Xoce's answer is pretty much right but it was more of a general answer for in app textviews, but with some tweaking I have the way to do it for widgets. (Also thanks to CommonsWare for pushing me in the right direction.

In the updateAppWidget method, you can add text to the textview using remote views. To customize substrings of the textview's text with a strike through, use a spannable string builder (you can also use differnt spans to achieve bold, underline, italic, etc.)

Here's what I did:

static void updateAppWidget(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager,
                            int appWidgetId) {
    CharSequence widgetText = NewAppWidgetConfigureActivity.loadTitlePref(context, appWidgetId, NewAppWidgetConfigureActivity.TEXT_KEY);
    // Construct the RemoteViews object
    RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.new_app_widget);

    SpannableStringBuilder spannableStringBuilder = new SpannableStringBuilder(widgetText);
    StrikethroughSpan strikethroughSpan = new StrikethroughSpan();

    spannableStringBuilder.setSpan(strikethroughSpan, startIndex, endIndex, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
    views.setTextViewText(R.id.appwidget_text, spannableStringBuilder);

    ...

}

How to apply strike through using swipe gesture in flutter

with package https://pub.dev/packages/swipedetector you can detect swipe

In case you don't require the default configuration and want to tune the sensitivity of swipes, you can pass your own configuration values.

swipe left to text strike and swipe right to normal style.

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:swipedetector/swipedetector.dart';

void main() => runApp(MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  // This widget is the root of your application.
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      theme: ThemeData(
        // This is the theme of your application.
        //
        // Try running your application with "flutter run". You'll see the
        // application has a blue toolbar. Then, without quitting the app, try
        // changing the primarySwatch below to Colors.green and then invoke
        // "hot reload" (press "r" in the console where you ran "flutter run",
        // or simply save your changes to "hot reload" in a Flutter IDE).
        // Notice that the counter didn't reset back to zero; the application
        // is not restarted.
        primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
      ),
      home: MyHomePage(title: 'Flutter Demo Home Page'),
    );

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  MyHomePage({Key key, this.title}) : super(key: key);

  // This widget is the home page of your application. It is stateful, meaning
  // that it has a State object (defined below) that contains fields that affect
  // how it looks.

  // This class is the configuration for the state. It holds the values (in this
  // case the title) provided by the parent (in this case the App widget) and
  // used by the build method of the State. Fields in a Widget subclass are
  // always marked "final".

  final String title;

  @override
  _MyHomePageState createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
  int _counter = 0;

  void _incrementCounter() {
    setState(() {
      // This call to setState tells the Flutter framework that something has
      // changed in this State, which causes it to rerun the build method below
      // so that the display can reflect the updated values. If we changed
      // _counter without calling setState(), then the build method would not be
      // called again, and so nothing would appear to happen.
      _counter++;
    });
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {

    // by the _incrementCounter method above.
    //
    // The Flutter framework has been optimized to make rerunning build methods
    // fast, so that you can just rebuild anything that needs updating rather
    // than having to individually change instances of widgets.
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(

        // the App.build method, and use it to set our appbar title.

        // in the middle of the parent.
        child: Column(
          // Column is also layout widget. It takes a list of children and
          // arranges them vertically. By default, it sizes itself to fit its

          //
          // Column has various properties to control how it sizes itself and
          // how it positions its children. Here we use mainAxisAlignment to
          // center the children vertically; the main axis here is the vertical

            ),
            Text(
              'You have pushed the button this many times:',
            ),
            Text(
              '$_counter',
              style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.display1,
            ),
          ],
        ),
      ),
      floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
        onPressed: _incrementCounter,
        tooltip: 'Increment',
        child: Icon(Icons.add),
      ), // This trailing comma makes auto-formatting nicer for build methods.
    );
  }
}

demo result, the swipe config and speed I have test with real device, work fine.

Obtain a text with underline and strikethrough at the same time

use combine instade

Text(
  "Hello world!",
  style: TextStyle(
    decoration: TextDecoration.combine(
        [TextDecoration.underline, TextDecoration.lineThrough]),
  ),
)

Android widget - How to remove text strike through from remote view

You don't need to "unstrikethrough" the TextView, it is sufficient to simply set the Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG if you want normal text (that's because setPaintFlags() does not add the new and the previous flags, it just sets the new flags):

if (item.isCheck()) {
            views.setTextColor(R.id.widgetTitle, Color.WHITE);
            views.setInt(R.id.widgetTitle, "setPaintFlags",
                         Paint.STRIKE_THRU_TEXT_FLAG | Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);
        } else {
            views.setTextColor(R.id.widgetTitle, Color.WHITE);
            views.setInt(R.id.widgetTitle, "setPaintFlags", Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);
        }

If you want to preserve more than one flag which was previously set while removing the strikethrough effect, I'd like to point you to this post by edwoolard

Widget has a line through it on android studio with flutter

That means that the Widget is deprecated and it will be removed in future versions. You should replace those Widgets with others that aren't deprecated.
