Android: Textview Hyperlink

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);

Make a hyperlink textview in android

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"

How to make links in a TextView clickable

Buried in the API demos, I found the solution to my problem:

File Link.java:

    // text2 has links specified by putting <a> tags in the string
    // resource.  By default these links will appear but not
    // respond to user input.  To make them active, you need to
    // call setMovementMethod() on the TextView object.

    TextView t2 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text2);
    t2.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());

I removed most of the attributes on my TextView to match what was in the demo.

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/text2"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="@string/txtCredits"/>

That solved it. It is pretty difficult to uncover and fix.

Important: Don't forget to remove autoLink="web" if you are calling setMovementMethod().

Have HyperLink Text in TextView

Use SpannableString for this

    SpannableString ss = new SpannableString("Your string value");
    ClickableSpan clickableTerms = new ClickableSpan() {
      @Override
      public void onClick(View textView) {
               // show toast here
         }
      @Override
      public void updateDrawState(TextPaint ds) {
           super.updateDrawState(ds);
           ds.setUnderlineText(true);

                }
            };
  ss.setSpan(clickableTerms, 4, 10, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
  myTextView.setText(ss);
  myTextView.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
  myTextView.setHighlightColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);

You can make multiple words clickable by this method.

Part of TextView clickable with a link

check below point before testing

• Check your link starts with http:// or https://
• Place your String in CDATA tag (like <string name="some_text"><![CDATA[PLACE_YOUR_HTML_STRING_HERE]]></string>)
• Check you have added internet Permission in your manifest.xml file <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
• then dynamically html text can be set using below code into textView

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {
    textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(getString(R.string.html_string), Html.FROM_HTML_MODE_COMPACT));
} else { 
    textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(getString(R.string.html_string)));
}
Linkify.addLinks(textView, Linkify.ALL);
textView.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());

Android TextView with Clickable Links: how to capture clicks?

Based upon another answer, here's a function setTextViewHTML() which parses the links out of a HTML string and makes them clickable, and then lets you respond to the URL.

protected void makeLinkClickable(SpannableStringBuilder strBuilder, final URLSpan span)
{
    int start = strBuilder.getSpanStart(span);
    int end = strBuilder.getSpanEnd(span);
    int flags = strBuilder.getSpanFlags(span);
    ClickableSpan clickable = new ClickableSpan() {
        public void onClick(View view) {
            // Do something with span.getURL() to handle the link click...
        }
    };
    strBuilder.setSpan(clickable, start, end, flags);
    strBuilder.removeSpan(span);
}

protected void setTextViewHTML(TextView text, String html)
{
    CharSequence sequence = Html.fromHtml(html);
    SpannableStringBuilder strBuilder = new SpannableStringBuilder(sequence);
    URLSpan[] urls = strBuilder.getSpans(0, sequence.length(), URLSpan.class);   
    for(URLSpan span : urls) {
        makeLinkClickable(strBuilder, span);
    }
    text.setText(strBuilder);
    text.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());       
}

TextView link text is not visible

The cause might be the equality of text color and background. Try to set another color to the links using:

android:textColorLink="@color/someColor"

Android Textview with clickable email and link

I think you need to set the android:linksClickable="true" attribute.

If set to false, keeps the movement method from being set to the link movement method even if autoLink causes links to be found.

Set the sms_deposit_information in strings.xml in the form of

<string name="sms_deposit_information"><![CDATA[<p>abc@xyz.com</p>]]></string>

Then do the below programmatically

TextView textView = findViewById(R.id.description);
textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(getString(R.string.sms_deposit_information)));
textView.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
