Make Links in a TextView Clickable in Android Studio

In Android development, you can use LinkMovementMethod, Linkify, and AutoLink to make a TextView display HTML content and allow URLs to be clickable.

TextView Clickable Method 1:

XML Code

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/textView"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:autoLink="web"
    android:text="Visit https://www.google.com visit Google" />

Add HTML Formatting Text in TextView

TextView textView = findViewById(R.id.textView);
String text= "Click <a href='https://shafiq.thbd.in'>here</a> visit Portfolio.";
textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(text, Html.FROM_HTML_MODE_COMPACT));
textView.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());

Converts HTML string into a formatted text. : Html.fromHtml(htmlText, Html.FROM_HTML_MODE_COMPACT);

Enables link clicking: LinkMovementMethod.getInstance();

TextView Clickable Method 2:

If your text contains a plain URL (without HTML tags), then you can make it clickable in your TextView using Linkify.

String text= "Click https://shafiq.thbd.in visit Portfolio.";
TextView textView = findViewById(R.id.textView);
 textView.setText(text);
Linkify.addLinks(textView, Linkify.WEB_URLS); textView.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());

Detects and converts URLs into clickable links: Linkify.addLinks(textView, Linkify.WEB_URLS);

Linkify.addLinks(textView, Linkify.ALL);

TextView Clickable Method 3:

In the last part (I Recommend) if you prefer a simpler method, no need to do any code in Java or Kotlin then you can follow this

XML Code:

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/textView"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:autoLink="web"
    android:text="Click https://shafiq.thbd.in visit Portfolio."
    android:linksClickable="true" />

Automatically makes URLs clickable: autoLink=”web”
