How to Get Clickable Hyperlinks in Alertdialog from a String Resource

How can I get clickable hyperlinks in AlertDialog from a string resource?

If you are only showing some text and URL[s] in your dialog perhaps the solution is simpler

public static class MyOtherAlertDialog {

 public static AlertDialog create(Context context) {
  final TextView message = new TextView(context);
  // i.e.: R.string.dialog_message =>
            // "Test this dialog following the link to dtmilano.blogspot.com"
  final SpannableString s = 
               new SpannableString(context.getText(R.string.dialog_message));
  Linkify.addLinks(s, Linkify.WEB_URLS);
  message.setText(s);
  message.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());

  return new AlertDialog.Builder(context)
   .setTitle(R.string.dialog_title)
   .setCancelable(true)
   .setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_dialog_info)
   .setPositiveButton(R.string.dialog_action_dismiss, null)
   .setView(message)
   .create();
 }
}

How can I get clickable hyperlinks in AlertDialog that will navigate to a new Activity?

Use AlertDialog.setView() to display a custom layout containing your hyperlink TextView in the message area.

E.g. Make a hyperlink_layout.xml containing a TextView with id = hyperlink_text

It only has to contain what is shown in the message area of the AlertDialog, you don't need buttons/title etc.

Create the AlertDialog something like this (from an Activity):

LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
View dialogView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.hyperlink_layout, null);

// get the text view from the view:
TextView hyperlinkText = (TextView)dialogView.findViewById(R.id.hyperlink_text);

// format/set it up how you like...

// handle the click on the hyperlink:
hyperlinkText.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // handle the click, launch the new Activity etc
        }
    });

// create the alert dialog
new AlertDialog.Builder(this)                       
    .setView(dialogView)
    .setPositiveButton(android.R.string.yes, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
            // handle OK
        }
    })
    .setNegativeButton(android.R.string.no, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) { 
            // handle Cancel
        }
    })
    .show();

How I can make links clickable in an AlertDialog without using a TextView?

I'm not sure you can do without a TextView, I would use a Custom AlertDialog, however you can create a "temporary" TextView within the code to perform what you need, here I leave the url where you have several examples

How to have text and clickable URL link on Alertdialog?

You're missing quotes around your URL. Try:

Html.fromHtml("<a href='https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xxxxxxxxx'>Click Here</a>")

Note the single quotes around the URL.

Hyperlink in string resource in AlertDialog

try custom alert dialog below way

LayoutInflater li = LayoutInflater.from(MainActivity.this);
        View promptsView = li.inflate(R.layout.prompts, null);

        final AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this);
        builder.setView(promptsView);
        final TextView userInput = (TextView) promptsView
                .findViewById(R.id.textView);
        userInput.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
        userInput.setText(Html.fromHtml(getResources().getString(R.string.about_body)));
        builder.setTitle(getResources().getString(R.string.app_name));
        // builder.setMessage(Html.fromHtml(getResources().getString(R.string.about_body)))
        builder.setPositiveButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialogInterface, int i) {
                dialogInterface.dismiss();
            }
        }).show();

prompts.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:padding="10dip">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:clickable="true"
        android:text="Medium Text"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
</LinearLayout>

make sure your string is correct and links are working

add link to alertdialog text android

As I said in my comment you should use custom dialog box.

so create a new xml file for layout of your custom dialog box.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button1"
        android:text="firstButton"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/dialogButtonOK"
        android:layout_width="100px"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text=" Ok "
        android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
        />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button2"
        android:text="SecondButton"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

</LinearLayout>

The above will be your layout for custom dialog box.

now inside your method where your using AlertDialog.Builder use below code.

public void myMethod(){
final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(context);
                dialog.setContentView(R.layout.custome);
                dialog.setTitle("Title...");

                // set the custom dialog components - text, image and button
                Button button1 = (Button) dialog.findViewById(R.id.button1);
                button1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onClick(View view) {
                        Intent intent = new Intent(getBaseContext(),MyActivity2.class);
                        startActivity(intent);
                    }
                });

                Button dialogButton = (Button) dialog.findViewById(R.id.dialogButtonOK);
                // if button is clicked, close the custom dialog
                dialogButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onClick(View v) {
                        dialog.dismiss();
                    }
                });

                dialog.show();
            }
}

So this will show your custom dialog box with layout specified in above xml and when you click on button1 it will open MyActivity2 in new view.

You've still got 1 more button (neutral) to play with if you wanted...

Otherwise, I would suggest reading this question.



This is how I have accomplished it though:

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
        builder.setTitle(R.string.app_name)
                .setIcon(R.drawable.dialog_icon)
               .setMessage(R.string.welcome_text)
               .setCancelable(true)
               .setNegativeButton(R.string.okay, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                   public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                        dialog.dismiss();
                   }
               });

        AlertDialog welcomeAlert = builder.create();
        welcomeAlert.show();
        // Make the textview clickable. Must be called after show()
        ((TextView)welcomeAlert.findViewById(android.R.id.message)).setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());

I have used regular <a href=".."></a> formatting in my strings.xml

The only thing I don't like about my current solution is that it makes all of the text clickable and not just the links.

How i make String + URL in AlertDialog with String is not clickable and URL is clickable

I am not sure whether it will work or not but you can try this

text.setText(Html.fromHtml("<bMy Text is going here....</b>" +
                "<a href=\"http://www.example.com\">Terms and Conditions.</a> "));
 text.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance()); 

Android hyperlinks on TextView in custom AlertDialog not clickable

You defined the TextView without android:autoLink="all" , android:clickable="true" & android:linksClickable="false"

For info.xml TextView as below

<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/infoDetailText"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:padding="4dp" />
