Multiple Clickable links in TextView on Android
You can use Linkify (android.text.Spannable,java.util.regex.Pattern,java.lang.String)
String termsAndConditions = getResources().getString(R.string.terms_and_conditions);
String privacyPolicy = getResources().getString(R.string.privacy_policy);
legalDescription.setText(
String.format(
getResources().getString(R.string.message),
termsAndConditions,
privacyPolicy)
);
legalDescription.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
Pattern termsAndConditionsMatcher = Pattern.compile(termsAndConditions);
Linkify.addLinks(legalDescription, termsAndConditionsMatcher, "terms:");
Pattern privacyPolicyMatcher = Pattern.compile(privacyPolicy);
Linkify.addLinks(legalDescription, privacyPolicyMatcher, "privacy:");
and then you can use the scheme to start an activity for example by adding the scheme in the AndroidManifest:
<intent-filter>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<data android:scheme="terms" />
<data android:scheme="privacy" />
</intent-filter>
If you want to do a custom action, you can set the intent-filter to your current activity, which will have a singleTop launchmode.
This will cause onNewIntent to be fired where can make your custom actions:
@Override
protected void onNewIntent(final Intent intent) {
...
if (intent.getScheme().equals(..)) {
..
}
}
Here's my solution:
First we need to have clickable links in our TextView:
Here's my TextView in the xml layout, do not add any links handling parameters.
<TextView android:id="@+id/sign_up_privacy" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/terms_and_privacy"/>
In strings file, I added the resource text with html tags
<string name="terms_and_privacy">By signing up you agree to our <a href="terms:">Terms of Service</a> and <a href="privacy:">Privacy Policy.</a></string>
In onCreateView set LinkMovementMethod to the TextView
TextView privacyTextView = (TextView) root.findViewById(R.id.sign_up_privacy); privacyTextView.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
Now the TextView links are clickable.
Second, We need to Handle these clicks:
In my Manifest file, I added intent-filter for "terms" and "privacy" and Single Instance Launch Mode
<activity android:name=".MyActivity" android:launchMode="singleInstance"> <intent-filter> <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/> <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/> <data android:scheme="terms"/> <data android:scheme="privacy"/> </intent-filter> </activity>
In MyActivity, override onNewIntent to catch privacy and terms intents
@Override protected void onNewIntent(Intent intent) { if (intent.getScheme().equalsIgnoreCase(getString("terms"))) { //handle terms clicked } else if (intent.getScheme().equalsIgnoreCase(getString("privacy"))) { //handle privacy clicked } else { super.onNewIntent(intent); } }
I think that I'm a little late to share this, but I have achieved the same using SpannableStringBuilder.
Simply initialize the TextView
that you want to add 2 or more listeners and then pass that to the following method that I have created:
private void customTextView(TextView view) {
SpannableStringBuilder spanTxt = new SpannableStringBuilder(
"I agree to the ");
spanTxt.append("Term of services");
spanTxt.setSpan(new ClickableSpan() {
@Override
public void onClick(View widget) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Terms of services Clicked",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}, spanTxt.length() - "Term of services".length(), spanTxt.length(), 0);
spanTxt.append(" and");
spanTxt.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.BLACK), 32, spanTxt.length(), 0);
spanTxt.append(" Privacy Policy");
spanTxt.setSpan(new ClickableSpan() {
@Override
public void onClick(View widget) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Privacy Policy Clicked",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}, spanTxt.length() - " Privacy Policy".length(), spanTxt.length(), 0);
view.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
view.setText(spanTxt, BufferType.SPANNABLE);
}
And in your XML, use android:textColorLink
to add custom link color of your choice. Like this:
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="TextView"
android:textColorLink="#C36241" /> //#C36241 - Rust
And this looks like this:
Hope it helps someone. :)
