Autolink inside a TextView in android
Put a String in string.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<string name="txtCredits">Support: <a href="http://www.stackoverflow.com">click here</a></string>
</resources>
And you can use it in textView like this:
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:id="@+id/text"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:linksClickable="true"
android:text="@string/txtCredits" />
EDIT
For some reason above code does not work properly. So, add below code also,
TextView t2 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text);
t2.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
Important: Don't forget to remove autoLink="web"
if you are calling setMovementMethod()
.
use simple Url in strings.xml :
<string name="autolink_val">Please Click Here : http://www.google.com</string>
And in Java code write this:
<TextView android:id="@+id/linkVal"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:autoLink="web"
android:text="@string/autolink_val1"/>`
Textviews are capable of displaying HTML, which solves your problem. Wrap what you want clickable in a hyperlink:
String html = "My link is <a href=\"http://google.com\">here</a>";
myTextView.setText(Html.fromHtml(html));
