How to use ClickableSpan, but ignore clicks from the TextView

Question

The following code shows how I'm applying a pressed state using a custom ClickableSpan and selector. However, the pressed state is applied whenever I press anywhere on the TextView, not just the ClickableSpan. How do I stop this?

Note: it does not call onClick, but does apply state_pressed from the selector. I want it to do neither.

MyView.java

SpannableString spanned = new SpannableString("click here");
spannable.setSpan(new MyClickableSpan() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View widget) {
            doSomething();
        }
    }, start, end, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
textView.setText(spanned);
textView.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());

MyClickableSpan.java

public abstract class MyClickableSpan extends ClickableSpan {

    @Override
    public abstract void onClick(View view);

    @Override
    public void updateDrawState(TextPaint ds) {
        super.updateDrawState(ds);
        ds.setUnderlineText(false);
    }
}

the TextView

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/my_text_view"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textColor="@android:color/white"
    android:textColorLink="@color/my_selector" />

my_selector.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_pressed="true" android:color="@color/my_color_pressed" />
    <item android:color="@color/my_color" />
</selector>

Edit note: Added TextView code

Answer 1

Next example works as you're expecting:

    Spannable span = SpannableStringBuilder.valueOf("Hello clickable span!");
    span.setSpan(new MyClickableSpan(), 6, 15, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
    mTextView.setText(span);
    mTextView.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());

Now span applied:

Here's MyClickableSpan() that's only show Snackbar to indicate that "click" is handled:

class MyClickableSpan extends ClickableSpan {

    @Override
    public void onClick(View widget) {
        Snackbar.make(getWindow().findViewById(android.R.id.content), "Click on span!", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }
}

We've got:

1. Click/tap outside the "spanned" text will do nothing
2. Click/tap on "spanned" part of text will show Snackbar

That's it. Please let me know if you need any additional info.
