My objective is to change the hyperlink from a green color to a blue color in android. Currently the whole textview is green.
I'm using this class to remove the underlining of the hyperlink in android - I found it on SO:
public class TextViewNoUnderline extends AppCompatTextView {
public TextViewNoUnderline(Context context) {
this(context, null);
}
public TextViewNoUnderline(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
this(context, attrs, android.R.attr.textViewStyle);
}
public TextViewNoUnderline(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
setSpannableFactory(Factory.getInstance());
}
private static class Factory extends Spannable.Factory {
private final static Factory sInstance = new Factory();
public static Factory getInstance() {
return sInstance;
}
@Override
public Spannable newSpannable(CharSequence source) {
return new SpannableNoUnderline(source);
}
}
private static class SpannableNoUnderline extends SpannableString {
public SpannableNoUnderline(CharSequence source) {
super(source);
}
@Override
public void setSpan(Object what, int start, int end, int flags) {
if (what instanceof URLSpan) {
what = new UrlSpanNoUnderline((URLSpan) what);
}
super.setSpan(what, start, end, flags);
}
}
}
Then in my xml I did this:
<com.myapp.customshapes.TextViewNoUnderline
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/tos"
tools:text="@string/signing_in"/>
Where signing_in is this string:
<string name="signing_in"><body link="blue">By signing in, you agree to our <a href="com.myapp://http://www.myapp.com/Terms.html">Terms of Service</a>
and <a href="com.myapp://http://www.myapp.com/Privacy.html">Privacy Policy</a></string>
I have set this in my java class:
tos.setText(Html.fromHtml(getString(R.string.signing_in)));
As you can see, in my html, I said: <body link="blue">
The whole TOS which includes non-hyperlinked words and hyperlinked words is green as in the pic. Why are the hyperlinks not turning blue?
