    ClickableSpan clickableSpanstar1stWarsHashText = new ClickableSpan() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View widget) {
            //Intent starWars = new Intent(MainActivity.this,starWars.class); //starWars is a class file which extends Activity

    ClickableSpan clickableSpanstar2ndWarsHashText = new ClickableSpan() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View widget) {

            Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"Clicked On 2nd #StarWars Remove comments of above line",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
    };

    hashText.setSpan(clickableSpanstar1stWarsHashText,15,24, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
    hashText.setSpan(clickableSpanmustWatchHashText, 55, 65, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
    hashText.setSpan(clickableSpanstar2ndWarsHashText,66,75, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);




    //SpannableString hashText = new SpannableString("I just watched #StarWars and it was incredible. It's a #MustWatch #StarWars");

    TextView  textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView); //textView id i.e. android:id="@+id/textView"
    textView.setText(hashText);
    textView.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
    textView.setHighlightColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
