Android: Linkify TextView

Question

I have textview which I need to linkify. Here's what I am doing..

TextView text = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.name); text.setText("Android...Update from Android"); Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("Android"); String scheme = "www.android.com"; Linkify.addLinks(text, pattern, scheme); 

The text-view is displayed correctly with the text "Android...Update from Android", but I am facing two problems.

1) My text string has two instances of the string "Android". So, both the text are linkified. I want only the first occurrence to be linkified. How should I go about it?

2) When I click the linkfy text, it opens the browser, but the URL is weird. The url it tries to open is "www.comandroid". I don't know whats going wrong here. The text "android" in the URL is being replaced. Am I doing something wrong when Linknifying the text.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

The easy way is put autoLink in XML layout.

  android:autoLink="web"
