You need to do check and support Android N and higher versions of Android

                  //Set clickable true
                 tagHeading.setClickable(true);
                 
                  //Handlle click event
                  tagHeading.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());

                if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {
                    tagHeading.setText(Html.fromHtml("https://github.com/hiteshsahu", Html.FROM_HTML_MODE_LEGACY));
                } else {

android:linksClickable="true"
