I am trying to recognise hashtags in my TextView and make them clickable such that I can take the user to another View when they click on the Hashtag.
I managed to i
there is a way... after seeing your question i was just googling .. and i found this, i hope it will work...
1.
you can use android.text.style.ClickableSpan
link
SpannableString ss = new SpannableString("Hello World");
ClickableSpan span1 = new ClickableSpan() {
@Override
public void onClick(View textView) {
// do some thing
}
};
ClickableSpan span2 = new ClickableSpan() {
@Override
public void onClick(View textView) {
// do another thing
}
};
ss.setSpan(span1, 0, 4, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
ss.setSpan(span2, 6, 10, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
textView.setText(ss);
textView.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
another way.. link
TextView myTextView = new TextView(this);
String myString = "Some text [clickable]";
int i1 = myString.indexOf("[");
int i2 = myString.indexOf("]");
myTextView.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
myTextView.setText(myString, BufferType.SPANNABLE);
Spannable mySpannable = (Spannable)myTextView.getText();
ClickableSpan myClickableSpan = new ClickableSpan()
{
@Override
public void onClick(View widget) { /* do something */ }
};
mySpannable.setSpan(myClickableSpan, i1, i2 + 1, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
