I am using a TextView for which I have set autolink=\"web\" property in XML file. I have also implemented the onClickListener for this TextView. Th

Answer 1

one of the @CommonsWare post helps to intercept autolink OnClick event.

private void fixTextView(TextView tv) {
    SpannableString current = (SpannableString) tv.getText();
    URLSpan[] spans =
            current.getSpans(0, current.length(), URLSpan.class);

    for (URLSpan span : spans) {
        int start = current.getSpanStart(span);
        int end = current.getSpanEnd(span);

        current.removeSpan(span);
        current.setSpan(new DefensiveURLSpan(span.getURL()), start, end,
                0);
    }
}

public static class DefensiveURLSpan extends URLSpan {
    private String mUrl;

    public DefensiveURLSpan(String url) {
        super(url);
        mUrl = url;
    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View widget) {
        // openInWebView(widget.getContext(), mUrl); // intercept click event and do something.
        // super.onClick(widget); // or it will do as it is.
    }
}

Apply above code simply as below. It will go through all linkable texts and replace click events to above event handler.

fixTextView(textViewContent);
