Answer 1

I would suggest a different approach that I think requires less code and is more "localization-friendly".

Supposing that your destination activity is called "ActivityStack", define in the manifest an intent filter for it with a custom scheme (e.g. "myappscheme") in AndroidManifest.xml:

Define the TextView without any special tag (it is important to NOT use the "android:autoLink" tag, see: https://stackoverflow.com/a/20647011/1699702):

then use a link with custom scheme and host in the text of the TextView as (in String.xml):

Android is a Software stack

and "activate" the link with setMovementMethod() (in onCreate() for activities or onCreateView() for fragments):

TextView stack = findViewById(R.id.stackView);
stack.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());

This will open the stack activity with a tap on the "stack" word.
