android textview click on a link

Question

If I have a textview with spanned text obtained from Html.fromHtml(source), how to make the textview to react when I click on a link? In my textview, link is something like "click here" and this text is a link, it's not a direct link like www.google.com.

Answer 1

 android:autoLink="web"

Answer 2

I guess you want to handle span click event by yourself.
There two ways for this:
1)Create new class extends URLSpan
2)Create new class extends LinkMovementMethod

Please see below url, may be help you.
