I have a textView and I want to make the text clickable (urls and phone numbers)
I have successfully been using Linkify
ex
Linkify.addLinks(tvDescription, Linkify.ALL);
Now I would like to make the text selectable using
tvDescription.setTextIsSelectable(true);
It does also work as long as I dont Linkify my textView.
If I use both lines of code
tvDescription.setTextIsSelectable(true);
Linkify.addLinks(tvDescription, Linkify.ALL);
the text will by linkifyed but the text wont be selectable.
I have been trying
tvDescription.setAutoLinkMask(Linkify.ALL);
but this does not seem to work at all.
How can I linkify my textView as well as make my text selectable?
Thanks for any response

I want to make something like
wow its cool app
in android. so that users can see a bold text in both TextView and EditText like WhatsApp. I don't know what to do. I searched and found something in which we can use HTML tags but some of the users don't know how to use that. Is there a way so that it is easy for users to make some part of text bold and remaining will normal.
Here is the image which will clear more
in this image, users can bold some part of text by enclosing that in *'s.
For you to make text bold? Place it in a StyleSpan with a bold style to it. For the user to make it bold? You'll have to provide some UI for them to do that, that isn't built in.
You have to use HTML code and set to textview or edittextview as following..
TextView textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView);
String first = "Hello what's up ";
String next = "<B>some bold text </B>";
textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(first + next));
if you want to add bold text after '' character then find that character from textview or edittextview and apply tag after '' this character and set text into textview and edittextview
I want to Justify the text into textView. I does not want to use web view. because i can't increase the text size at run time for different screens. So I want To use the text view.
I want some things like that.
You can set HTML on a TextView.
So...
String htmlString = "<p align=\"justify\">This is some text in a paragraph.</p>";
mTextView.setText(Html.fromHtml(htmlString));
Good Luck. :)
My textview load html text that contains links (to website, to e-mail address ...)
tv = (TextView)((Activity)mContext).findViewById(R.id.entry_webview);
tv.setText(Html.fromHtml(myPage));
I settv.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance()); to make the linke be clickable.
I set tv.setTextIsSelectable(true); to make the text selectable.
What happens? TextView applies just the last setting, in this order case, text will be ONLY selectable and the link(s) won't be clickable, one setting excludes the other other one.
If I set in TextView in XML
android:autoLink="all"
android:textIsSelectable="true"
links don't work (e-mail yes).
Is there a way to make the text both clickable and selectable?
Thanks.
I had the same issue - this solution works for me:
The XML TextView should not have any link/selectable attributes:
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
Then, set everything programmatically respecting the following order:
textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(myHtml));
Linkify.addLinks(textView, Linkify.WEB_URLS);
textView.setTextIsSelectable(true); // API-11 and above
textView.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
have you tried using something like this tv.setText(Html.fromHtml("<a href='url'>link</a>"));
In my application, I have an TextView with many lines beside of product, but I need the data with proper appearance.Is it possible to have justified alignment dynamically?
you can align your text dynamically some how as you want...
but, i guess there is no such facility available in android to fully justify text as the text editors does...
Use Html Formatting in your textView like
yourTextView.setText(Html.fromHtml("<h1>Product Name</h1><br><p>Content</p>"));
Yes you can get the instance of TextView on activity startup
TextView t = (TextView)FindViewById(R.id.TextView1)
t.setTextAppearance(context,parameter)
Is it possible to have a black background around each letter (not for the whole word) in a word in a TextView?
The only way I can think of is by using html in your textView.
Put your text in HTML and then do something like this
TextView contactWeb1 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.contactWeb1);
String desc = "<font color=\"red\"><a href='http://www.mysite.com/'>Visit my site</a></font>";
contactWeb1.setText(Html.fromHtml(desc));
The above code is from the 3rd link
