You can do this in three ways, by either setting foreground in TextView, or setting PaintFlag or declaring string as <strike>your_string</strike> in strings.xml. For example,

Through PaintFlag

This is simplest method you just have to set strikethrough flag on your TextView as,

yourTextView.setPaintFlags(Paint.STRIKE_THRU_TEXT_FLAG);

it will strike through your TextView.

Through foreground drawable

You can also strike through your TextView by setting a background as,

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_pressed="false">
        <shape android:shape="line">
            <stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="@android:color/holo_red_dark"/>
        </shape>
    </item>
</selector>

Now, you just have to set above drawable in your TextView as background.

Through strings.xml

In this method, you have to declare your string in strings.xml as strike through as,

<string name="strike_line"> <strike>This line is strike throughed</strike></string>

Note

But I recommend you to strike through your TextView by setting foreground drawable. Because through drawable you can easily set your strike through line color(as like I setted as red color in above example) or size or any other style property. While in other two methods default textcolor is strike through color.
