This is my sample code for you, I think this will solve your problem:

    public class StackOverflowActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        // 1) How to replace link by text like "Click Here to visit Google" and
        // the text is linked with the website url ?
        TextView link = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
        String linkText = "Visit the <a href='http://stackoverflow.com'>StackOverflow</a> web page.";
        link.setText(Html.fromHtml(linkText));
        link.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
        // 2) How to place email address
        TextView email = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView2);
        String emailText = "Send email: <a href=\"mailto:person@stackoverflow.com\">Click Me!</a>";
        email.setText(Html.fromHtml(emailText));
        email.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
    }
