Answer 1

The most important part of @Emanuel Moecklin 's answer is to subclass URLSpan and create your own URLSpan which has onClick overrided.

Inspired by his answer, instead of following fully his steps, I sticked to using Linkify. However, for some other reasons, I created my own Linkify class, with almost the same code as original Linkify.

And then, inside applyLink() in Linkify, I replaced

URLSpan span = new URLSpan(url);

with

InAppURLSpan span = new InAppURLSpan(url);

Where the code for InAppURLSpan is:

public static class InAppURLSpan extends URLSpan {

    public InAppURLSpan(String url) {
        super(url);
    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View widget) {
        String url = getURL();
        Log.i("TNC_URL", url);
        Intent intent = new Intent(widget.getContext(), SingleWebViewActivity.class);
        intent.putExtra(Constants.INTENT_URL, url);
        widget.getContext().startActivity(intent);
    }
}

And it worked like a charm~
