The source          


        

Answer 1

You need to call setMovementMethod:

aboutL1.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());

(you may not even need to call Linkify.addLinks since you used Html.fromHtml, but I can't totally remember).

Answer 2

aboutL1.setLinksClickable(true);

in XML should be

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/aboutL2"
    android:autoLink="web"
    android:linksClickable="true"
/>
