how to remove underline for textview in android

I have seen many questions regarding removing of underline for autolink of textview.

But for me, I am unable to remove underline for normal textview. I set the underline by:

textview.setPaintFlags(nameOnTemplateTextview.getPaintFlags() | Paint.UNDERLINE_TEXT_FLAG);

I tried this way, it worked.

Just add android:background="@null" this line of code into your EditText xml.

See the example:

<EditText
           android:id="@+id/txt_search_field"
           android:lines="1"
           android:background="@null"
           android:layout_width="match_parent"
           android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/textView"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginBottom="120px"
    android:autoLink="all"
    android:background="#00FFFFFF"
    android:fontFamily="sans-serif-light"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:linksClickable="false"
    android:longClickable="false"
    android:textSize="30sp" />

If you have an underline problem, use this code in textview

android: autoLink = "all"

Maybe it's too late to answer this good question but I share my experience; perhaps it might be helpful for some one.

There is a really practical and easy way to remove underline for a text. And that is: textview.setPaintFlags(View.INVISIBLE);

It works perfect for me.

You can try 

 textview.setPaintFlags(textview.getPaintFlags() & (~ Paint.UNDERLINE_TEXT_FLAG));

or more broadly just set,

textview.setPaintFlags(0) but the first option is more exact

Here is technique you can try to remove underline from any textview or edit text using the given below example code snippet

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/et"
    android:layout_width="250dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:padding="10dp"
    android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
    android:hint="This is first EditText"
    android:fontFamily="sans-serif-light"
    android:background="@null"
    />

Use of the attribute

android:background="@null"

you can remove underline from textview or edit text

You can also try putting transparent color to the background to remove underline beneath a textview.
