You can use sample code. You want to learn detail about ClickableSpan. Please check this documentaion

  SpannableString myString = new SpannableString("This is example");

            ClickableSpan clickableSpan = new ClickableSpan() {
                    @Override
                    public void onClick(View textView) {
                        ToastUtil.show(getContext(),"Clicked Smile ");
                    }
                };

        //For Click
         myString.setSpan(clickableSpan,startIndex,lastIndex,Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE)

        //For UnderLine
         myString.setSpan(new UnderlineSpan(),startIndex,lastIndex,0);

        //For Bold
        myString.setSpan(new StyleSpan(Typeface.BOLD),startIndex,lastIndex,0);

        //Finally you can set to textView. 

        TextView textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtSpan);
        textView.setText(myString);
        textView.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
