How to draw a line in diagonal direction on a widget android

Question

I want to know is there a simple way to draw a line in diagonal direction, like using <View .... /View> in xml to draw line in vertical or horizontal direction.

Below is the image of what I want to do

Selected form of button

Unselected form of button

Changing color of text is not a problem, its drawing line for unselected case and making invisible for selected one. Thank you

Create a transparent image with diagonal line and add that image as an overlay.

or create an shape xml of diagonal and add in your drawable. below is code to create diagonal shape.

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  <layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
  <item>
  <rotate
   android:fromDegrees="160"
   android:pivotX="50%"
   android:pivotY="50%"
   android:toDegrees="0">
   <shape
    android:shape="line"
    android:top="1dip">
    <stroke

         </rotate>
