Draw line with faded ends

Is it possible in Android to programmatically draw a line using a path, such that the middle section is a solid color but both ends fade from that color to transparent? The path will be a series of calculated coordinates.

Yes, use a generic View widget with a drawable that contains a gradient as its background.

Make sure it extends to match_parent in the direction you want it to cut your layout and it's 1px tall or wide in the other dimension.

The gradient should be a simple linear gradient transparent to solid to transparent.

Here is a very nice tutorial.
