To draw a vertical line in Android when a button is pressed?

Question

Hi,

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

Elaboration: I have a linear layout with vertical orientation. A set of buttons constitute this linear layout. When I press one button, I want a line to appear to the right of these buttons, like dividing the screen halfway - a straight line of width=2dip and height=200dip.

Regards, kiki

Hi guys,

I have solved it myself. All I 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"></View>

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