Format TextView to look like link

Question

I\'ve been using the android:autoLink just fine for formatting links and such, but I need to use android:onClick so I can\'t use that in this case.

Answer 1

With kotlin extension function (if you don't need the click effect as on a real link)

fun TextView.hyperlinkStyle() {
    setText(
        SpannableString(text).apply {
            setSpan(
                URLSpan(""),
                0,
                length,
                Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE
            )
        },
        TextView.BufferType.SPANNABLE
    )
}

How to use

yourTextView.hyperlinkStyle()
