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

Have a better answer.This is what i did.

     final SpannableString ss = new SpannableString("Click here to verify Benificiary");
        ClickableSpan clickableSpan = new ClickableSpan() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View textView) {

            }
            @Override
            public void updateDrawState(TextPaint ds) {
                super.updateDrawState(ds);
                ds.setUnderlineText(false);
            }
        };
        ss.setSpan(clickableSpan,0,ss.length(),Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
textView.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
        textView.setHighlightColor(Color.BLUE);

You go anywhere you like when user clicks on the link through onclick method of ClickableSpan
