android:autoLink for phone numbers doesn't always work

问题

I have a simple TextView with local phone number 852112222 or (8 5) 211 2222.

I need it to be clickable, so naturally I used android:autoLink="all".
But for some reason I don't understand same phone number is not "linkified" on all devices.

On plain Genymotion device it didn't work. On my personal OnePlus2 device it worked. Tested on bunch on different devices - no luck.

What could be the issue?
User account preferences? Android version? ORM? Something else?

Here is my investigation.

I created a new project, and added android:autoLink="all" to a text view in activity_main.xml. Thanks to the developers of Android Studio, I could see the preview, and I found something interesting:

12345 not linked
123456 not linked
1234567 linked
12345678 linked
123456789 not linked
1234567890 not likned
12345678901 linked
123456789012 not linked

The result is the same on my phone. So I looked into the source code, searched for the keyword autolink, then I found this:

private void setText(CharSequence text, BufferType type,
                     boolean notifyBefore, int oldlen) {

    ...
    // unconcerned code above

    if (mAutoLinkMask != 0) {
        Spannable s2;

        if (type == BufferType.EDITABLE || text instanceof Spannable) {
            s2 = (Spannable) text;
        } else {
            s2 = mSpannableFactory.newSpannable(text);
        }

        if (Linkify.addLinks(s2, mAutoLinkMask)) {
            text = s2;
            type = (type == BufferType.EDITABLE) ? BufferType.EDITABLE : BufferType.SPANNABLE;

            /*
             * We must go ahead and set the text before changing the
             * movement method, because setMovementMethod() may call
             * setText() again to try to upgrade the buffer type.
             */
            mText = text;

            // Do not change the movement method for text that support text selection as it
            // would prevent an arbitrary cursor displacement.
            if (mLinksClickable && !textCanBeSelected()) {
                setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
            }
        }
    }

    ...
    // unconcerned code above
}

So the keyword is Linkify now. For addLinks:

public static final boolean addLinks(@NonNull Spannable text, @LinkifyMask int mask) {
    ...

    if ((mask & PHONE_NUMBERS) != 0) {
        gatherTelLinks(links, text);
    }

    ...
}

private static final void gatherTelLinks(ArrayList<LinkSpec> links, Spannable s) {
    PhoneNumberUtil phoneUtil = PhoneNumberUtil.getInstance();
    Iterable<PhoneNumberMatch> matches = phoneUtil.findNumbers(s.toString(),
            Locale.getDefault().getCountry(), Leniency.POSSIBLE, Long.MAX_VALUE);
    for (PhoneNumberMatch match : matches) {
        LinkSpec spec = new LinkSpec();
        spec.url = "tel:" + PhoneNumberUtils.normalizeNumber(match.rawString());
        spec.start = match.start();
        spec.end = match.end();
        links.add(spec);
    }
}

Then, something bad happened, the SDK doesn't have PhoneNumberUtil, specifically these 3 classes below:

import com.android.i18n.phonenumbers.PhoneNumberMatch;
import com.android.i18n.phonenumbers.PhoneNumberUtil;
import com.android.i18n.phonenumbers.PhoneNumberUtil.Leniency;

For now, the first reason surfaced: Locale.getDefault().getCountry().
So I went to setting, found language, selected Chinese. The result is below:

12345 linked
123456 linked
1234567 linked
12345678 linked
123456789 linked
1234567890 linked
12345678901 linked
123456789012 linked

Secondly, for the package of com.android.i18n.phonenumbers, I found this:
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/libphonenumber/+/ics-factoryrom-2-release/java/src/com/android/i18n/phonenumbers
If you are interested, check the link above. Notice in the URL: ics-factoryrom-2-release. So I highly doubt that this is platform-dependent.

For the solution, CleverAndroid is right, taking full control of LinkMovementMethod is a good option.

回答2:

Just do the following

TextView userInput= (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.textView);

if(userInput != null){
     Linkify.addLinks(userInput, Patterns.PHONE,"tel:",Linkify.sPhoneNumberMatchFilter,Linkify.sPhoneNumberTransformFilter);
     userInput.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
}

and also remove the

android:autoLink

from your xml file

Can you please try below code. Set attribute programmatically.

Activity

package custom.com.android_lab;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.text.util.Linkify;
import android.widget.TextView;

/**
 * You can use Activity or AppCompatActivity
 */
public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        // local phone number 852112222 or (8 5) 211 2222.

        // Tested OK!
        TextView textView1 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textv1);
        textView1.setAutoLinkMask(Linkify.PHONE_NUMBERS);
        textView1.setText("852112222");

        // Tested OK!
        TextView textView2 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textv2);
        textView2.setAutoLinkMask(Linkify.PHONE_NUMBERS);
        textView2.setText("(85) 211-2222");

        // Tested Failed!
        // Reason : Need to apply setAutoLinkMask prior to apply setText
        TextView textView3 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textv3);
        textView3.setText("852112222");
        textView2.setAutoLinkMask(Linkify.PHONE_NUMBERS);

    }
}

View

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/activity_main"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textv1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textv2"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textv3"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="55dp" />

</LinearLayout>

Testing Devices

I would suggest you just to add country code and all your issue will be resolved,

android:autoLink="phone"
android:text="+91-8000000000"

If we add country code before the number, then no need of other temporary solutions.

回答5:

I have seen a lot of inconsistencies when using auto link. If at all you are working for a prod version. Always go for SpannableStringBuilder with LinkMovementMethod. You have good control of how the text needs to be displayed.

The snippet below may help.

String phone = "your phone number";
String message = "Phone number is: ";

Spannable span = new SpannableString(String.format("%s\n%s",message, phone));
ForegroundColorSpan color = new ForegroundColorSpan(Res.color(R.color.blue));
ClickableSpan click = new ClickableSpan() {
    @Override
        public void onClick(View widget) {
            Navigator.dialer("your phone number");
        }
        public void updateDrawState(TextPaint ds) {// override updateDrawState
            ds.setUnderlineText(false); // set to false to remove underline
        }
    };

span.setSpan(color, message.length(), message.length() + phone.length() + 1, Spanned.SPAN_INCLUSIVE_INCLUSIVE);
span.setSpan(click, message.length(), message.length() + phone.length() + 1, Spanned.SPAN_INCLUSIVE_INCLUSIVE);

changesMessageLabel.setText(span);
changesMessageLabel.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());

Harsh Agrawal answer worked for me in cases where the phone number is 11 digits or more with 3 blocks. e.g. 123 456 78910

TextView textView = findViewById(R.id.text_view);
textView.setText("123 456 78910");
Linkify.addLinks(textView, Patterns.PHONE, "tel:", Linkify.sPhoneNumberMatchFilter,
            Linkify.sPhoneNumberTransformFilter);

I had to call Linkify.addLinks after setting text for it to work.

Note that Linkify.addLinks already calls setMovementMethod on the text view.

回答7:

Create universal pattern for phone numbers and add Linkify mask next(Kotlin, extension function):

fun TextView.makeLinkedable(){
    val pattern = Pattern.compile("""([\d|\(][\h|\(\d{3}\)|\.|\-|\d]{4,}\d)""",
 Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE)
    LinkifyCompat.addLinks(this, Linkify.ALL)
    LinkifyCompat.addLinks(this, pattern, "tel://", null, null, null)
    setLinkTextColor(ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.blue))
}

Should work for all devices

回答8:

For phone autolink specific you should use

android:autoLink="phone"

For more refer: textview autolink

回答9:

Some numbers are not accepted by the autoLink="phone"

So you can call directly the Phone Intent adding a clickListener to the TextView.

Declare phone as a class attribute:

private String phone = "1234567890";

At the onCreate() method of the activity:

//...
TextView  tvPhoneTelefone = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tv_telefone);
tvPhone.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL);
        callIntent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:" + phone ));
        startActivity(callIntent);
    }
});

This should work with any number.

Iliya Mashin's answer was the best solution for me.

I adapted it for Java and specified at least 4 numbers in the end (so it won't linkify some zipcodes ending with 3 numbers "xxxxx-xxx"), so, if you don't want this specific limitation, just remove "{4,}" in the ending).

    LinkifyCompat.addLinks(textView, Linkify.ALL); // This will use the usual linkify for any other format
    Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("([\\d|\\(][\\h|\\(\\d{3}\\)|\\.|\\-|\\d]{4,}\\d{4,})", Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE);
    LinkifyCompat.addLinks(textView, pattern, "tel://", null, null, null); // this adds the format for all kinds of phone number

If you want to link just the numbers, remove the first line (the one with "Linkify.ALL").
