package com.example.androidhyperlinkbutton;

import android.app.Activity;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
{
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    
    TextView textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.clickableTextView);
 
    String leading = "This is the clickable ";
    String trailing = "magenta link";
   
    SpannableStringBuilder stringBuilder = new SpannableStringBuilder();
    stringBuilder.append(leading);
    stringBuilder.append(trailing);
    stringBuilder.setSpan(
        new NonUnderlinedClickableSpan() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View widget) {
            Log.i("ExampleClickableLink", "The link was clicked!");
            Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://upadhyayjiteshandroid.blogspot.in/"));
            startActivity(browserIntent);
            // do whatever you want here
            }
        },
        leading.length(), leading.length() + trailing.length(), Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
    
    textView.setText(stringBuilder);
    textView.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance()); 
    textView.setLinkTextColor( Color.GREEN );

public class NonUnderlinedClickableSpan extends ClickableSpan 
{
@Override

           ds.setColor(ds.linkColor);
           ds.setUnderlineText(false); // set to false to remove underline
