How to make links in a TextView clickable?

Question

I have the following TextView defined:

Answer 1

I use the autolink to "auto underline" the text, but just made an "onClick" that manages it. (I ran into this problem myself)

        

public void twitter (View view)
    {
        try
        {
            Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://twitter.com/onaclovtech"));
            startActivity(browserIntent);

        }
        finally
        {
        }
    }

Doesn't require any permissions, as you are passing the intent off to apps that manage those resources, (I.E. browser).

This was what worked for me. Good luck.
