Android Linkify links textColor ignored, css style overrides possible?

Question

I am using Linkify in my app, and visited link text is appearing as dark purple. My overall layout background color is dark blue so this is impossible to read.

I ran into the same problem using Linkify. You can use LinkMovementMethod instead, and convert your text to a SpannableString.

TextView contactWeb1 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.contactWeb1);
SpannableString str = SpannableString.valueOf(contactWeb1);
str.setSpan(new URLSpan(contactWeb1.getText()), 0, str.length() -1, Spannable.SPAN_INCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
contactWeb1.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
