I want text view as a clickable link

Question

<TextView     android:id="@+id/link"     android:layout_width="wrap_content"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"     android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"     android:text="Forget password?"     android:autoLink="all"     android:linksClickable="true"     android:textColor="@color/lgreen"     android:textStyle="italic"      /> 

Android is highlighting the links in the TextView, but they do not respond to clicks. Can someone tell me how can i do that as a clickable and move to another link. i tried more times by seeing examples. but i can't. Can some one explain me clearly how to change text view as a clickable link.

Answer 1

All tested and working 100%
below is a complete example
Solution: android:autoLink="web"
Sample Xml:

<TextView     android:id="@+id/txtLostpassword"     android:layout_width="wrap_content"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:layout_gravity="center"     android:autoLink="email"     android:gravity="center"     android:padding="20px"     android:text="@string/lostpassword"     android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall" />  <TextView     android:id="@+id/txtLostpassword"     android:layout_width="wrap_content"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:layout_gravity="center"     android:autoLink="web"     android:gravity="center"     android:padding="20px"     android:text="@string/defaultpassword"     android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall" /> 

String in string.xml

<string name="lostpassword">If you lost your password please contact <a href="mailto:[email protected]?Subject=Lost%20Password" target="_top">[email protected]</a></string>  <string name="defaultpassword">User Guide <a href="http://www.cleverfinger.com.au/user-guide/">http://www.cleverfinger.com.au/user-guide/</a></string>

You can add click listener to TextView and start websearch:

textView.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {      @Override     public void onClick(View view)     {          Intent browser= new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(PASTE_YOUR_URL_HERE));            startActivity(browser);       }  }); 

and xml looks like:

<TextView       android:layout_width="fill_parent"       android:layout_height="wrap_content"       android:text="@string/link_string"       android:textSize="14dp"       android:autoLink="web" />
