How to make links in a TextView clickable?

Question

I have the following TextView defined:

Answer 1

If you want to add HTML-like link, all you need to do is:

• add a resource HTML-like string:

   Google
  

• add your view to the layout with NO link-specific configuration at all:

   `
  

• add appropriate MovementMethod programmatically to your TextView:

   mLink = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.link);
   if (mLink != null) {
     mLink.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
   }
  

That's it! And yes, having options like "autoLink" and "linksClickable" working on explicit links only (not wrapped into html tags) is very misleading to me too...
