Menu
I have Button and its text, I retrive it from string.xml i.e. I have declared a Button text in res/values in strings.xml like
<string name="Google"><a href=""http://www.google.com\">Google</a></string>
I removed its text color from blue to white but how do I remove its underline?
in my .java file I am using only setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance()); to make the link clickabale... I didn't use Linkify, webview or anything like form.Html...
everything works fine. I just want to remove the underline below that "Google" text...
Is there any way to do this in the xml?
I even used android:autoLink="all". But when I used that, the text and button color changes and I dont want that.
Please Help.

There is a really practical and easy way to remove underline for a text. And that is: textview. setPaintFlags(View. INVISIBLE);
To remove the underline from links, you can use the CSS text-decoration property.
TextView text=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.text);
String value = "<html> click to go <font color=#757b86><b><a href=\"http://www.google.com\">google</a></b></font> </html>";
Spannable spannedText = (Spannable)
Html.fromHtml(value);
text.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
Spannable processedText = removeUnderlines(spannedText);
text.setText(processedText);
here is your removeUnderlines()
public static Spannable removeUnderlines(Spannable p_Text) {
URLSpan[] spans = p_Text.getSpans(0, p_Text.length(), URLSpan.class);
for (URLSpan span : spans) {
int start = p_Text.getSpanStart(span);
int end = p_Text.getSpanEnd(span);
p_Text.removeSpan(span);
span = new URLSpanNoUnderline(span.getURL());
p_Text.setSpan(span, start, end, 0);
}
return p_Text;
}
also create class URLSpanNoUnderline.java
import co.questapp.quest.R;
import android.text.TextPaint;
import android.text.style.URLSpan;
public class URLSpanNoUnderline extends URLSpan {
public URLSpanNoUnderline(String p_Url) {
super(p_Url);
}
@Override
public void updateDrawState(TextPaint p_DrawState) {
super.updateDrawState(p_DrawState);
p_DrawState.setUnderlineText(false);
p_DrawState.setColor(R.color.info_text_color);
}
}
using this line you can also change the color of that text p_DrawState.setColor(R.color.info_text_color);

Kotlin has Textview extension for removing underline
fun TextView.removeLinksUnderline() {
val spannable = SpannableString(text)
for (urlSpan in spannable.getSpans(0, spannable.length, URLSpan::class.java)) {
spannable.setSpan(object : URLSpan(urlSpan.url) {
override fun updateDrawState(ds: TextPaint) {
super.updateDrawState(ds)
ds.isUnderlineText = false
}
}, spannable.getSpanStart(urlSpan), spannable.getSpanEnd(urlSpan), 0)
}
text = spannable
}
Usage:
txtView.removeLinksUnderline()
