How to set the part of the text view is clickable

android.text.style.ClickableSpan can solve your problem.

SpannableString ss = new SpannableString("Android is a Software stack");ClickableSpan clickableSpan = new ClickableSpan() {    @Override    public void onClick(View textView) {        startActivity(new Intent(MyActivity.this, NextActivity.class));    }    @Override    public void updateDrawState(TextPaint ds) {        super.updateDrawState(ds);        ds.setUnderlineText(false);    }};ss.setSpan(clickableSpan, 22, 27, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);TextView textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.hello);textView.setText(ss);textView.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());textView.setHighlightColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);

In XML:

<TextView   ...  android:textColorLink="@drawable/your_selector"/>

My function for make multiple links inside TextView
Update 2020: Now this function able to support multiple same texts link inside 1 TextView, but remember to put the link in the correct order

fun TextView.makeLinks(vararg links: Pair<String, View.OnClickListener>) {    val spannableString = SpannableString(this.text)    var startIndexOfLink = -1    for (link in links) {        val clickableSpan = object : ClickableSpan() {            override fun updateDrawState(textPaint: TextPaint) {                // use this to change the link color                textPaint.color = textPaint.linkColor                // toggle below value to enable/disable                // the underline shown below the clickable text                textPaint.isUnderlineText = true            }            override fun onClick(view: View) {                Selection.setSelection((view as TextView).text as Spannable, 0)                view.invalidate()                link.second.onClick(view)            }        }        startIndexOfLink = this.text.toString().indexOf(link.first, startIndexOfLink + 1)//      if(startIndexOfLink == -1) continue // todo if you want to verify your texts contains links text        spannableString.setSpan(            clickableSpan, startIndexOfLink, startIndexOfLink + link.first.length,            Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE        )    }    this.movementMethod =        LinkMovementMethod.getInstance() // without LinkMovementMethod, link can not click    this.setText(spannableString, TextView.BufferType.SPANNABLE)}

USING

my_text_view.makeLinks(        Pair("Terms of Service", View.OnClickListener {            Toast.makeText(applicationContext, "Terms of Service Clicked", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()        }),        Pair("Privacy Policy", View.OnClickListener {            Toast.makeText(applicationContext, "Privacy Policy Clicked", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()        }))

XML

<TextView    android:id="@+id/my_text_view"    android:layout_width="wrap_content"    android:layout_height="wrap_content"    android:text="Please accept Terms of Service and Privacy Policy"    android:textColorHighlight="#f00" // background color when pressed    android:textColorLink="#0f0"    android:textSize="20sp" />

Solution for clear the link highlight selection follow https://stackoverflow.com/a/19445108/5381331

You can use ClickableSpan as described in this post

Sample code:

TextView myTextView = new TextView(this);String myString = "Some text [clickable]";int i1 = myString.indexOf("[");int i2 = myString.indexOf("]");myTextView.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());myTextView.setText(myString, BufferType.SPANNABLE);Spannable mySpannable = (Spannable)myTextView.getText();ClickableSpan myClickableSpan = new ClickableSpan() {   @Override   public void onClick(View widget) { /* do something */ }};mySpannable.setSpan(myClickableSpan, i1, i2 + 1, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
