How to make links in a TextView clickable?

Question

I have the following TextView defined:

Answer 1

Buried in the API demos I found the solution to my problem:

Link.java:

    // text2 has links specified by putting  tags in the string
    // resource.  By default these links will appear but not
    // respond to user input.  To make them active, you need to
    // call setMovementMethod() on the TextView object.

    TextView t2 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text2);
    t2.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());

I removed most of the attributes on my TextView to match what was in the demo.

That solved it. Pretty difficult to uncover and fix.

Important: Don't forget to remove autoLink="web" if you are calling setMovementMethod().
