In Android there is a method setRotation(float), which you can use it

textview.setRotation(float);

NOTE: this method was added in API 11

so if you want to support it you can use this

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 11) {

    RotateAnimation animation = new RotateAnimation(oldAngel, newAngel);
    animation.setDuration(100);
    animation.setFillAfter(true);
    watermarkText.startAnimation(animation);
} else {

    watermarkText.setRotation(progress);
}

EDIT: Here's my solution:

Here's my full activity_main.xml:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
                xmlns:tool="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:background="@color/colorPrimary">

    <RelativeLayout
        android:id="@+id/item"
        android:layout_width="200dp"
        android:layout_height="200dp"
        android:background="#FFFFFFFF"
        >

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="40dp"
            android:textColor="#FFFFFFFF"
            android:text="HP  EliteBook 1212x"
            android:textAlignment="gravity"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:background="@color/colorPrimaryDark"

            />

        <ImageView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:padding="40dp"
            android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
            android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
            android:layout_margin="0dp"
            android:src="@drawable/laptop"/>

        <ImageView
            android:layout_width="175dp"
            android:layout_height="175dp"
            android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
            android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
            android:layout_margin="0dp"
            android:padding="0dp"
            android:src="@drawable/triangle"/>

        <LinearLayout
            android:id="@+id/prices"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
            android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
            android:orientation="vertical"
            android:padding="7dp"
            android:rotation="-45.0"
            android:textAlignment="center">

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/old_price"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_gravity="center"
                android:text="200$"
                android:textColor="#FFFFFFFF"
                />

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/new_price"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_below="@+id/old_price"
                android:layout_gravity="center"
                android:text="400$"
                android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
                android:textColor="#FFFFFFFF"/>
        </LinearLayout>


    </RelativeLayout>

</RelativeLayout>

For creating triangle, create triangle.xml file in this directory:

your_app_name/app/src/main/res/drawable

and as content put this code:

<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
    <item>
        <rotate
            android:fromDegrees="-45"
            android:toDegrees="0"
            android:pivotX="150%"
            android:pivotY="20%" >
            <shape
                android:shape="rectangle" >
                <solid android:color="#ff0000" />
            </shape>
        </rotate>
    </item>
</layer-list>

In your Java MainActivity class put:

    TextView oldPrice = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.old_price);
    oldPrice.setPaintFlags(oldPrice.getPaintFlags() | Paint.STRIKE_THRU_TEXT_FLAG);

to add to your old price text strike-through effect.

If you have a question, please free to ask. Hope it help

The easiest way to do is:

 <TextView
        android:id="@+id/rotated"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:background="#AA000F"
        android:rotation="-50"
        android:text="ABC"
        android:textColor="#44CC44"
        android:textSize="32sp" />

You can do it with the other layouts or edittexts too

you have to use label for this type text – Er. Rakesh Prajapat Dec 29 '15 at 11:34
