How to change color of hyperlink in android

Question

For displaying hyperlink on a page on my android app I am doing this:

MyProgram.java

link1.setText(Html.fromHtml(linkText1));
        link1.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());


        TextView link = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView2);
        String linkText = "Visit the <a href='http://www.mydomain.com'>My Website</a> web page.";
        link.setText(Html.fromHtml(linkText));
        link.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
        // Place email address
        TextView email = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView3);
        String emailText = "Contact Me: <a href=\"mailto:[email protected]\">[email protected]</a>";
        email.setText(Html.fromHtml(emailText));
        email.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());

myprogram.XML

<TextView android:text="TextView" android:id="@+id/textView2" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textColor="#000000" android:textSize="30dp"></TextView>
        <View
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="30dp">
    </View>
        <TextView android:text="TextView" android:id="@+id/textView3" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textColor="#000000" android:textSize="30dp"></TextView>

If you see in my XML, I have tried changing the color to black (android:textColor="#000000") but still I don't see any change in the hyperlink. It is still in default color i.e blue

Any Help ?

You should use another attribute:

android:textColorLink="#000000"
