Edited: previous code was wrong, this works

    // make "dolor" (characters 12 to 17) display a toast message when touched
    ClickableSpan clickableSpan = new ClickableSpan() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            TextView textView = (TextView) view;
            CharSequence charSequence = textView.getText();
            if (charSequence instanceof Spannable) {
                Spannable spannableText = (Spannable)charSequence;
                ClickableSpan[] spans = spannableText.getSpans(0, textView.length(), ClickableSpan.class);
                for (ClickableSpan span : spans) {
                    int start = spannableText.getSpanStart(span);
                    int end = spannableText.getSpanEnd(span);
                    Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, charSequence.subSequence(start, end), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                }
            }
        }
    };
