Android: ClickableSpan in clickable TextView

Question

I have a textview that can contain clickable links. When one of this links is clicked, I want to start an activity. This works fine, but it should also be possible to click

Answer 1

copy below function

private fun setClickableHighLightedText(
        tv: TextView,
        textToHighlight: String,
        onClickListener: View.OnClickListener?
    ) {
        val tvt = tv.text.toString()
        var ofe = tvt.indexOf(textToHighlight, 0)
        val clickableSpan = object : ClickableSpan() {
            override fun onClick(textView: View) {
                onClickListener?.onClick(textView)
            }

            override fun updateDrawState(ds: TextPaint) {
                super.updateDrawState(ds)
                //set color of the text
                ds.color = getColor(R.color.black)
                //draw underline base on true/false 
                ds.isUnderlineText = false
            }
        }
        val wordToSpan = SpannableString(tv.text)
        var ofs = 0
        while (ofs < tvt.length && ofe != -1) {
            ofe = tvt.indexOf(textToHighlight, ofs)
            if (ofe == -1)
                break
            else {
                wordToSpan.setSpan(
                    clickableSpan,
                    ofe,
                    ofe + textToHighlight.length,
                    Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE
                )
                tv.setText(wordToSpan, TextView.BufferType.SPANNABLE)
                tv.movementMethod = LinkMovementMethod.getInstance()
            }
            ofs = ofe + 1
        }
    }

use above function and pass textview,clickble string

 setClickableHighLightedText(tvTest,"test") {
    showMessage("click")
    }
