TextView - OnClick - Android

Question

Is it possible to add onclick to some portion of a textview? For instance my code goes like this,

String content = "Hello this a test.. For more details contact @Peter";
someTextView.setText(content);

I would like to add an onClick event for "@Peter". Is that possible?

TIA.

Simple: -)

SpannableString link = makeLinkSpan("@Peter", new View.OnClickListener() {          
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // Peforme Click
        }
    });
String content = "Hello this a test.. For more details contact";
someTextView.setText(content);
someTextView.append(link);

And makeLinkSpan() method is

private SpannableString makeLinkSpan(CharSequence text, View.OnClickListener listener) {
    SpannableString link = new SpannableString(text);
    link.setSpan(new ClickableString(listener), 0, text.length(), 
        SpannableString.SPAN_INCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
    return link;
}

ClickableString Class

private static class ClickableString extends ClickableSpan {  
    private View.OnClickListener mListener;          
    public ClickableString(View.OnClickListener listener) {              
        mListener = listener;  
    }          
    @Override  
    public void onClick(View v) {  
        mListener.onClick(v);  
    }        
}
