Android Clickable TextView How To Make Multiple Click Regions on Text And Catch Region Selection [closed]

by

You should be able to accomplish that using ClickableSpan. Basically you need to create a SpannableStringBuilder, append the text parts and set a different ClickableSpan for each clickable text part.

SpannableStringBuilder sb = new SpannableStringBuilder();
String regularText = "This text is ";
String clickableText = "clickable";
sb.append(regularText);
sb.append(clickableText);
sb.setSpan(new ClickableSpan(), sb.length()-clickableText.length(), sb.length(), Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
TextView tv = ...
tv.setText(sb);

This is just an example illustrating how to set a single ClickableSpan. Obviously it will make more sense to do above in a loop and set a new span with each iteration.

However, since ClickableSpan is an abstract class, you’ll first need to extend it with your own concrete implementation. More specifically, the onClick method will need to be implemented to handle click events.

Also, don’t forget to set a MovementMethod to the TextView, e.g. LinkMovementMethod:

tv.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
