Answer 1

Alternative to it, in case if autolink doesn't work

Add links to your texview . Get it underline as folows :

SpannableString spanStr = new SpannableString(buf.toString());
spanStr.setSpan(new UnderlineSpan(), 0, spanStr.length(), 0);
iTextView.setText(spanStr);

Use the following code to open it with map app on click as follows :

Intent geoIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("geo:0,0?q="
                                +iTextView.getText().toString()));
startActivity(geoIntent);
