Make a hyperlink textview in android

Question

I want to make a link for a textview text like Google. Is there anyway to make link like this. (i.e) When clicking on the word Google it should open the appropriate link. Any ideas are welcome.

Answer 1

Try this, and let me know what happen..

Using java code:

TextView textView =(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView); textView.setClickable(true); textView.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance()); String text = "<a href='http://www.google.com'> Google </a>"; textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(text)); 

From API level >= 24 onwards Html.fromHtml(String source) is deprecated instead use fromHtml(String, int),

textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(text, Html.FROM_HTML_MODE_COMPACT)); 

Or in layout xml file, inside your TextView widget attributes

android:autoLink="web" android:linksClickable="true"
