Android ClickableSpan not calling onClick

Question

I am creating a ClickableSpan, and it is displaying properly with the proper text underlined. However, the clicks are not registering. Do you know what I am doing wrong???

Answer 1

After some trial and error, the sequence of setting the tv.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance()); does matter.

Here's my full code

String stringTerms = getString(R.string.sign_up_terms);
Spannable spannable = new SpannableString(stringTerms);
int indexTermsStart = stringTerms.indexOf("Terms");
int indexTermsEnd = indexTermsStart + 18;
spannable.setSpan(new UnderlineSpan(), indexTermsStart, indexTermsEnd, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
spannable.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(getColor(R.color.theme)), indexTermsStart, indexTermsEnd, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
spannable.setSpan(new ClickableSpan() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View widget) {
        Log.d(TAG, "TODO onClick.. Terms and Condition");
    }
}, indexTermsStart, indexTermsEnd, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);

int indexPolicyStart = stringTerms.indexOf("Privacy");
int indexPolicyEnd = indexPolicyStart + 14;
spannable.setSpan(new UnderlineSpan(), indexPolicyStart, indexPolicyEnd, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
spannable.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(getColor(R.color.theme)), indexPolicyStart, indexPolicyEnd, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
spannable.setSpan(new ClickableSpan() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View widget) {
        Log.d(TAG, "TODO onClick.. Privacy Policy");
    }
}, indexPolicyStart, indexPolicyEnd, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);

TextView textViewTerms = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.sign_up_terms_text);
textViewTerms.setText(spannable);
textViewTerms.setClickable(true);
textViewTerms.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
