Drawing dashed line on Android Programmatically

[jasonalien]

I want to draw horizontal dashed lines programmatically between programmatically generated TextViews. I found this code on Internet:

            Paint fgPaintSel = new Paint();
            fgPaintSel.setARGB(255, 0, 0, 0);
            fgPaintSel.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
            fgPaintSel.setPathEffect(new DashPathEffect(new float\[\]{5, 10}, 0));

I just copied and pasted this code but nothing happened. What should I do to draw a dashed line? Thanks.

You need to add the code to do the actual drawing of the line. It would be better to study the documentation[^] rather than copying code from random places on the internet.
