i coded an example to solve your question in Kotlin.

This is the Code:

    val textToFind = getString(R.string.show_terms)
    val spannableString: Spannable = SpannableString(completeText)
    val startFocus = completeText.indexOf(textToFind)
    val endFocus = startFocus + textToFind.length

    spannableString.setSpan(object: ClickableSpan() {
        override fun onClick(p0: View) {
            showMessage()
        }
    }, startFocus, endFocus, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE)
    show_terms.text = spannableString
    show_terms.movementMethod = LinkMovementMethod.getInstance();
    show_terms.highlightColor = Color.TRANSPARENT;
