Android UI How to - TextView add links








You can invoke the static addLinks() method of the Linkify class to find and add links to the content of any TextView or any Spannable on demand. 

Linkify.addLinks(tv, Linkify.ALL);

Example

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">
/*from   w w w .jav a2 s .  c  om*/
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/myText"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="abc@yourserver.com"
        android:autoLink="email" />

</LinearLayout>

Java code

package com.java2s.app;
// ww  w  .j a  va2s  .c  om
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.text.util.Linkify;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity
{
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        TextView nameValue = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.myText);
