Kotlin Version of Phan Van Linh's answer.

Please note it has some minor modifications.

fun makeLinks(textView: TextView, links: Array, clickableSpans: Array) {
    val spannableString = SpannableString(textView.text)

    for (i in links.indices) {
        val clickableSpan = clickableSpans[i]
        val link = links[i]

        val startIndexOfLink = textView.text.indexOf(link)

        spannableString.setSpan(clickableSpan, startIndexOfLink, startIndexOfLink + link.length,
                Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE)
    }

    textView.movementMethod = LinkMovementMethod.getInstance()
    textView.setText(spannableString, TextView.BufferType.SPANNABLE)
}

fun setupClickableTextView() {
    val termsOfServicesClick = object : ClickableSpan() {
        override fun onClick(p0: View?) {
            Toast.makeText(applicationContext, "ToS clicked", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
        }
    }

    val privacyPolicyClick = object : ClickableSpan() {
        override fun onClick(p0: View?) {
            Toast.makeText(applicationContext, "PP clicked", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
        }
    }

    makeLinks(termsTextView, arrayOf("terms", "privacy policy"), arrayOf(termsOfServicesClick, privacyPolicyClick))
}
