Multiple Clickable links in TextView on Android

Question

I\'m trying to add multiple links in a textview similar to what Google & Flipboard has done below with their Terms and conditions AND Privacy Po

Answer 1

With Textoo, this can be achieved like:

res/values/strings.xml:

     By signing up you agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

res/layout/myActivity.xml:

java/myPackage/MyActivity.java:

public class MyActivity extends Activity {
    ...
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        ...
        TextView termsAndPrivacy = Textoo
            .config((TextView) findViewById(R.id.view_terms_and_privacy))
            .addLinksHandler(new LinksHandler() {
                @Override
                public boolean onClick(View view, String url) {
                    if ("terms:".equals(url)) {
                        // Handle terms click
                        return true;  // event handled
                    } else if ("privacy:".equals(url)) {
                        // Handle privacy click
                        return true;  // event handled
                    } else {
                        return false;  // event not handled.  continue default processing i.e. launch web browser and display the link
                    }
                }
            })
            .apply();
        ...
    }
    ...
}

This approach have the advantages that:

• Keep text externalized as string resource. Make it easier to localize your app.
• Can handle the click event directly using LinksHandler and no need to define additional intent filter
• Simpler and more readable code
