if you wish, you can use the next code which allows to customize the clickable links within the string ( based on this post ) :

usage:

final TextView textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView);
final Spanned text = Html.fromHtml(getString(...));
textView.setText(text);
textView.setMovementMethod(new LinkMovementMethodExt());

LinkMovementMethodExt.java

public class LinkMovementMethodExt extends LinkMovementMethod {
    private static LinkMovementMethod sInstance;

    public static MovementMethod getInstance() {
        if (sInstance == null)
            sInstance = new LinkMovementMethodExt();
        return sInstance;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onTouchEvent(final TextView widget, final Spannable buffer, final MotionEvent event) {
        final int action = event.getAction();
        if (action == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP || action == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
            final int x = (int) event.getX() - widget.getTotalPaddingLeft() + widget.getScrollX();
            final int y = (int) event.getY() - widget.getTotalPaddingTop() + widget.getScrollY();
            final Layout layout = widget.getLayout();
            final int line = layout.getLineForVertical(y);
            final int off = layout.getOffsetForHorizontal(line, x);
            final ClickableSpan[] link = buffer.getSpans(off, off, ClickableSpan.class);
            if (link.length != 0) {
                //do something with the clicked item...
                return true;
            }
        }
        return super.onTouchEvent(widget, buffer, event);
    }

}
