You can also use to make string spannable like this

String htmlLinkText = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet";
    testView.setText(Html.fromHtml(htmlLinkText));
    testView.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());

    CharSequence text = testView.getText();
    if (text instanceof Spannable) {
        int end = text.length();
        Spannable sp = (Spannable) testView.getText();
        URLSpan[] urls = sp.getSpans(0, end, URLSpan.class);
        SpannableStringBuilder style = new SpannableStringBuilder(text);
        style.clearSpans();//should clear old spans
        for (URLSpan url : urls) {
            CustomerTextClick click = new CustomerTextClick(url.getURL());
            style.setSpan(click, sp.getSpanStart(url), sp.getSpanEnd(url), Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
        }
        testView.setText(style);
    }

and CustomerTextClick will be

private static class CustomerTextClick extends ClickableSpan {

    private String mUrl;

    CustomerTextClick(String url) {
        mUrl = url;
    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View widget) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        //Toast.makeText(ctx, "hello google!",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        // Do your action here
    }
}

Tested and working code.
