Answer 1

Android doesn't make strings that contain valid link clickable automatically. What you can do, is add custom view to your dialog and use WebView to show the alert message. In that case, you can store html in your resources and they will be clickable.

View alertDialogView = LayoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.alert_dialog_layout, null);

WebView myWebView = (WebView) alertDialogView.findViewById(R.id.dialogWebView);
myWebView.loadData("Google!", "text/html", "utf-8");
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(MyActivity.this);
builder.setView(alertDialogView);

alert_dialog_layout.xml
