Android: textview hyperlink

You could have two separate TextViews and you could align them accordingly in your layout if needed:

    Text1.setText(        Html.fromHtml(            "<a href=\"http://www.google.com\">google</a> "));    Text1.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());    Text2.setText(            Html.fromHtml(                "<a href=\"http://www.stackoverflow.com\">stackoverflow</a> "));    Text2.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());

Then if you want to strip the "link underline". Create a class:

public class URLSpanNoUnderline extends URLSpan {    public URLSpanNoUnderline(String url) {        super(url);    }    @Override public void updateDrawState(TextPaint ds) {        super.updateDrawState(ds);        ds.setUnderlineText(false);        }}

Then add this method in your main Activity class where you have the TextViews

private void stripUnderlines(TextView textView) {    Spannable s = new SpannableString(textView.getText());    URLSpan[] spans = s.getSpans(0, s.length(), URLSpan.class);    for (URLSpan span: spans) {        int start = s.getSpanStart(span);        int end = s.getSpanEnd(span);        s.removeSpan(span);        span = new URLSpanNoUnderline(span.getURL());        s.setSpan(span, start, end, 0);    }    textView.setText(s);}

And then just call this after you initialised the TextViews (in your onCreate):

stripUnderlines(Text1);stripUnderlines(Text2);

TextView t2 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textviewidname);t2.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());

and

<string name="google_stackoverflow"><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9852184/android-textview-hyperlink?rq=1">google stack overflow</a></string>

The link is, "Android: textview hyperlink"

and the tag is, "google stack overflow"

Define the first code block in your java and the second code block in your strings.xml file. Also, be sure to reference the id of the textView from your page layout in your java.

android:autoLink="web" simply works if you have full links in your HTML. The following will be highlighted in blue and clickable:
