The accepted answer may work for emails but if you want to detect different patterns like emails, contact numbers, weblink and set a separate on click implementations for these patterns I suggest you to use CustomClickableEmailPhoneTextview

Sample Code to use the library.

CustomPartialyClickableTextview customPartialyClickableTextview= (CustomPartialyClickableTextview) findViewById(R.id.textViewCustom);

                /**
                 * Create Objects For Click Patterns
                 */
                ClickPattern email=new ClickPattern();
                ClickPattern phone=new ClickPattern();
                ClickPattern weblink=new ClickPattern();

                /**
                 * set Functionality for what will happen on click of that pattern
                 * In this example pattern is email
                 */
                email.setOnClickListener(new ClickPattern.OnClickListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onClick() {

                        Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"email clicked",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();


                    }
                });

                /**
                 * set Functionality for what will happen on click of that pattern
                 * In this example pattern is phone
                 */
                phone.setOnClickListener(new ClickPattern.OnClickListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onClick() {
                        Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"phone clicked",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

                    }
                });

                /**
                 * set Functionality for what will happen on click of that pattern
                 * In this example pattern is weblink
                 */
                weblink.setOnClickListener(new ClickPattern.OnClickListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onClick() {
                        Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"website clicked",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

                    }
                });

                /**
                 * set respective regex string to be used to identify patter
                 */
                email.setRegex("\\b[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\\.[A-Z]{2,4}\\b"); // regex for email
                phone.setRegex("[1-9][0-9]{9,14}"); // regex for phone number
                weblink.setRegex("^(https?|ftp|file)://[-a-zA-Z0-9+&@#/%?=~_|!:,.;]*[-a-zA-Z0-9+&@#/%=~_|]"); // regex for weblink

                /**
                 * add click pattern to the custom textview - first parameter is tag for reference second parameter is ClickPattern object
                 */
                customPartialyClickableTextview.addClickPattern("email",email);
                customPartialyClickableTextview.addClickPattern("phone",phone);
                customPartialyClickableTextview.addClickPattern("weblink",weblink);
