Android-Is it possible to add a clickable link into a string resource

Just use an HTML format link in your resource:

<string name="my_link"><a href="http://somesite.com/">Click me!</a></string>

You can then use setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance()) on your TextView to make the link clickable.

There is also TextView's android:autoLink attribute which should also work.

I found something interesting. Let me know if any of you observed this.

Below hyperlink is not working if you use

android:autoLink="web"

but works with

TextView link = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.link);link.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());<string name="my_link">    <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9204303/android-is-it-possible-to-add-a-clickable-link-into-a-string-resource">        Click me!    </a></string>

but if you use the following link it works with both

android:autoLink="web" (or)TextView link = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.link);link.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());<string name="my_link">    <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9204303/android-is-it-possible-to-add-a-clickable-link-into-a-string-resource">         http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9204303/android-is-it-possible-to-add-a-clickable-link-into-a-string-resource    </a></string>

As answered by @Nikolay Elenkov In Kotlin I used it from string resources in this way (detailed way for freshers):

in my layout place a checkbox:

<CheckBox        android:id="@+id/termsCB"        android:layout_width="match_parent"        android:layout_height="wrap_content"        android:layout_marginHorizontal="@dimen/spacing_normal"        android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/spacing_normal"        android:text="@string/terms_and_conditions" />

in strings.xml

<string name="terms_and_conditions">I read and accept the <a href="http://www.spiffyshow.com/">Terms and Conditions</a></string>

in my activity class inside the onCreate() method:

termsCB.movementMethod = LinkMovementMethod.getInstance()
