Android clickable span click activate all TextView not only spannable text

Good afternoon. Could you help me with a clickable span? The fact is that when I assign a clickable substring at the end of an origin String, not only the text becomes clickable, but also the entire TextView area to the right of the substring, which is bad for me (it is necessary that only a substring is clickable. Can you advise me something ? match parent for my textview is required. Unfortunately, programmatically adding " " to the original string is also unacceptable to me. Pastebin link with code: here. I created a video on my Dropbox:
bad work my programm:
dropbox
I want it to work like this
dropbox
My TextView needs the following layout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
/>
my code:
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
TextView textView = findViewById(R.id.text_view);
SpannableString spanable = new SpannableString("my clickable span");
ClickableSpan clickableSpan = new ClickableSpan() {
#Override
public void onClick(View widget) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "click span", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
};
spanable.setSpan(clickableSpan, 13, 17, Spanned.SPAN_INCLUSIVE_INCLUSIVE);
textView.setText(spanable);
textView.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
}

set all text using length.
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
TextView textView = findViewById(R.id.text_view);
String strService = "my clickable span";
int serviceStart = strService.indexOf("my clickable span");
int serviceEnd = serviceStart + "my clickable span".length();
SpannableString spanable = new SpannableString(strService);
ClickableSpan clickableSpan = new ClickableSpan() {
#Override
public void onClick(View widget) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "click span", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
};
spanable.setSpan(clickableSpan, serviceStart, serviceEnd, Spanned.SPAN_INCLUSIVE_INCLUSIVE);
textView.setText(spanable);
textView.setClickable(true); //add clickable
textView.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
}

Wrap multiple textviews to appear as one sentence

Consider the sentence
"Mike has commented on Davids review at Pizza Planet"
This sentence may wrap onto 2 lines, but I want the words "Mike", "Davids" and "Pizza Planet clickable items".
If I use separate TextViews for each of these word, and also for the non clickable words in between, How can I do this so that they wrap nicely onto 2 lines?

You can use spannable strings for your needs, check this out:
TextView textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView);
SpannableString user = new SpannableString("Mike");
ClickableSpan userClickableSpan = new ClickableSpan() {
#Override
public void onClick(View textView) {
//click on user
}
};
user.setSpan(userClickableSpan, 0, user.length(),
SpannableString.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
SpannableString commentedOnUser = new SpannableString("Davids");
ClickableSpan commentedOnUserClickableSpan = new ClickableSpan() {
#Override
public void onClick(View textView) {
//click on commentedOnUser
}
};
commentedOnUser.setSpan(commentedOnUserClickableSpan, 0, commentedOnUser.length(),
SpannableString.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
SpannableString place = new SpannableString("Pizza Planet");
ClickableSpan placeClickableSpan = new ClickableSpan() {
#Override
public void onClick(View textView) {
//click on place
}
};
place.setSpan(placeClickableSpan, 0, place.length(),
SpannableString.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
textView.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
textView.setHighlightColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
textView.setText(user);
textView.append(" is has commented on ");
textView.append(commentedOnUser);
textView.append(" review at ");
textView.append(place);
Now when it's all part of one TextView, use "\n" to break the line.

How to register OnClickListner on hyperlink

I am using a text view in my aap, which is having plane text as well as a hyperlink. Now when I click on hyperlink then link open with default browser. But in actual I dont want to open default browser. Actually I want to register OnClickListener on hyperlink and want to perform other.
I searched on internet and I got this solution...
Control onclicklistener in autolink enabled textview
But this is not helpful for me.
Anyone can tell me that how I can perform this.
Thanks in advance

you can use a Spannable object
final Spannable span = new SpannableString(text);
span.setSpan(new ClickableSpan() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
}
}, 0, text.length(), Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
where text is your hyperlink

Remove android:autoLink="web" if this property setted into XML.
TextView textView =(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView);
textView.setClickable(true);
when you want to open in browser use this code
textView.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
String text = "<a href='http://www.google.com'> Google </a>";
textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(text));
if you want to perform some operation register onclick listener for textview and perform.
textView.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
});

Try doing this add
in your
main.xml
<TextView
android:id="#+id/yourTVID"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:onClick="performSomeAction" />
in your SomeActivity.java
public void performSomeAction( View v){
//Perform your action
}

Try this, it should solve your problem. This method will return a Spannable String which have part of it clickable.
Before calling the below method you should Create CharSequence from the String then convert it to Spannable
CharSequence charSequencce = testView.getText();
Spannable spannable = (Spannable) charSequencce;
public SpannableStringBuilder addClickToPartsOfString(Spannable charSequence, String[] stringsToAddClick, final OnHyperLinkClickListener onClickListener) {
SpannableStringBuilder ssb = new SpannableStringBuilder(charSequence);
for(final String s : stringsToAddClick) {
int index1 = charSequence.toString().indexOf(s);
int index2 = (s.length() + index1);
ssb.setSpan(new ClickableSpan() {
#Override
public void onClick(View widget) {
onClickListener.onClick(s);
}
}, index1, index2, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
}
return ssb;
}

I've just made a library aiming to simplify this. See Textoo. You can achieve the same with code like:
TextView locNotFound = Textoo
.config((TextView) findViewById(R.id.view_location_disabled))
.addLinksHandler(new LinksHandler() {
#Override
public boolean onClick(View view, String url) {
if ("internal://settings/location".equals(url)) {
Intent locSettings = new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS);
startActivity(locSettings);
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
})
.apply();
Internally the library converts existing links in your textview / string resources (android system parse html links in string resources into Span for you already) into custom ClickableSpan and capture clicks into calls to your handlers.
This relieve you from having to calculate and hard coding the position of clickable spans to add. Thus make it easier to externalize your text into string resources and better for localization.

how can i make layout it looks like instagram comment?

nickname is floating over comment body text.
It looks like css float effect.
I want to make layout this.
nickname has color, and clickable, and comment text are floating by nickname.
how can I do this for android?

hey i have implemented in my code using SpannableString
SpannableString spannableString = new SpannableString("userName");
final String tag = tagString.substring(start, i);
spannableString.setSpan(new ClickableSpan() {
#Override
public void onClick(View widget) {
if (tag.equals("username")) {
}
}
#Override
public void updateDrawState(TextPaint ds) {
}
}, 0, username.length(), Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);

Setting clickable string - Textview (Android)

My code looks like this,
String content = "Hi this is #Naveen. I'll meet #Peter in the evening.. Would you like to join #Sam??";
TextView contentTextView=(TextView)userHeader.findViewById(R.id.contentTextView);
contentTextView.setText(content);
Before setting the text in the textview, I would like to add click event for #Naveen, #Peter and #Sam.. When the user taps on these texts I want to open a new intent.. Is that possible? Any pointers would be quite helpful.

You can try to use Linkify with custom patterns.
However, if that doesn't suit your needs you can try this:
SpannableString ss = new SpannableString("Hi this is #Naveen. I'll meet #Peter in the evening.. Would you like to join #Sam??");
ClickableSpan clickableSpanNaveen = new ClickableSpan() {
#Override
public void onClick(View textView) {
//Do Stuff for naveen
}
};
ClickableSpan clickableSpanPeter = new ClickableSpan() {
#Override
public void onClick(View textView) {
//Do Stuff for peter
}
};
ClickableSpan clickableSpanSam = new ClickableSpan() {
#Override
public void onClick(View textView) {
//Do Stuff for sam
}
};
ss.setSpan(clickableSpanNaveen, 11, 17, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
ss.setSpan(clickableSpanPeter, 29, 35, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
ss.setSpan(clickableSpanSam, 76, 79, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
TextView contentTextView=(TextView)userHeader.findViewById(R.id.contentTextView);
contentTextView.setText(ss);
contentTextView.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());

You can use the Linkify class, which provides methods for adding links to TextViews. You can use the addLinks(TextView textView, Pattern pattern, String scheme) method, which needs you to specify the TextView, a Pattern for the text you want to match and a custom scheme that will be used to match Activities that can work with this kind of data. The Activity that you want to be opened when clicking on links must declare this scheme in its intent-filter. Hope this helps.
