Android: ClickableSpan in clickable TextView

by

Found a workaround that is quite straight forward. Define ClickableSpan on all the text areas that are not part of the links and handle the click on them as if the text view was clicked:

TextView tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textview01);      
Spannable span = Spannable.Factory.getInstance().newSpannable("test link span");   
span.setSpan(new ClickableSpan() {  
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {  
        Log.d("main", "link clicked");
        Toast.makeText(Main.this, "link clicked", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); 
    } }, 5, 9, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);

// All the rest will have the same spannable.
ClickableSpan cs = new ClickableSpan() {  
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {  
        Log.d("main", "textview clicked");
        Toast.makeText(Main.this, "textview clicked", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); 
    } };

// set the "test " spannable.
span.setSpan(cs, 0, 5, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);

// set the " span" spannable
span.setSpan(cs, 6, span.length(), Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);

tv.setText(span);

tv.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());

Hope this helps (I know this thread is old, but in case anyone sees it now…).
