Android TextLinkify Sample

This sample illustrates how links can be added to a TextView. This can be done either automatically by setting the "autoLink" property or explicitly.

Introduction

This sample demonstrates how clickable links can be added to a TextView in Android.

This can be done in three ways:

• Automatically: Text added to a TextView can automatically be linkified by enabling autoLinking. In XML, use the android:autoLink property, programatically call android.widget.TextView#setAutoLinkMask(int) using an option from android.text.util.Linkify.
• Parsing a String as HTML: See android.text.Html#fromHtml(String).
• Manually by constructing a android.text.SpannableString: Consisting of android.text.style.StyleSpan and android.text.style.URLSpan objects that are contained within a android.text.SpannableString.

Pre-requisites
