Check this library: (https://github.com/robinst/autolink-java)

  compile "org.nibor.autolink:autolink:0.7.0"

Working fine with Android.

Example:

  LinkExtractor linkExtractor = LinkExtractor.builder()
                    .linkTypes(EnumSet.of(LinkType.URL))
                    .build();
            Iterable links = linkExtractor.extractLinks(String_with_Link");
            LinkSpan link = links.iterator().next();
            link.getType();        // LinkType.URL
            link.getBeginIndex();  // 17
            link.getEndIndex();    // 32
            final_Url = String_with_Link.substring(link.getBeginIndex(), link.getEndIndex());
