Solution: android:autoLink="web"
below is a complete example

Sample Layout Xml

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/txtLostpassword"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:autoLink="email"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:padding="20px"
        android:text="@string/lostpassword"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/txtLostpassword"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:autoLink="web"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:padding="20px"
        android:text="@string/defaultpassword"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall" />

String in string.xml

<string name="lostpassword">If you lost your password please contact <a href="mailto:[email protected]?Subject=Lost%20Password" target="_top">[email protected]</a></string>

<string name="defaultpassword">User Guide <a href="http://www.cleverfinger.com.au/user-guide/">http://www.cleverfinger.com.au/user-guide/</a></string>

Try this, and let me know what happen..

Using java code:

TextView textView =(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView);
textView.setClickable(true);
textView.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
String text = "<a href='http://www.google.com'> Google </a>";
textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(text));

From API level >= 24 onwards Html.fromHtml(String source) is deprecated instead use fromHtml(String, int),

textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(text, Html.FROM_HTML_MODE_COMPACT));

Or in layout xml file, inside your TextView widget attributes

android:autoLink="web"
android:linksClickable="true"
