The best workaround I know is to create your own Button class. You could make the Button have a transparent background so that only the text is seen by the user. Then when the Button is pressed down change the TextColor and TextStyle of the button to be a darker color and underlined. This will work exactly as a link does. You can then use startActivity to go to the appropriated activity. You should not use hyperlinks to connect to other activities within your application.
