Highlight on clickablespan click

Question

I've got little problem, i need to remove or customize this orange highlight during clicking on clickablespan. This is my class extending ClickableSpan

public class InternalClickableSpan extends ClickableSpan {

    private String clicked;

    @Override
    public void updateDrawState(TextPaint ds) {
        ds.setUnderlineText(false);
    }

    public InternalClickableSpan(String clickedString) {
        clicked = clickedString;
    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View view) {
        Selection.setSelection((Spannable) ((TextView)view).getText(), 0);
        Toast toast = Toast.makeText(mContext, clicked, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
        toast.show();
    }
}

and this is how i use it on text view

Spannable spans = (Spannable) tv.getText();      
spans.setSpan(new InternalClickableSpan(contacts[i]), text.indexOf(contacts[i]),   text.indexOf(contacts[i])+contacts[i].length(), Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);

Does anybody know how to customize "onclick highlight" on spannable object?

edit: Thanks Aleadam for response, i'am overriding updateDrawState (please take a look at the first method in my InternalClickableSpan class), but i can't find a way to customize this higlight anyway. Has anybody got other ideas? Thanks

Try overriding updateDrawState()? http://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/style/ClickableSpan.html#updateDrawState%28android.text.TextPaint%29 — Aleadam, Apr 08 '11 at 13:54

Think i got it, to disable higlight we need to set setHighlightColor(Color.TRANSPARENT) method on TextView — Robert, Apr 15 '11 at 08:29

You can override onClick(View widget) like this:

        @Override
        public void onClick(View widget) {
            // do what must happen after click event.
            widget.invalidate();
        }

@hasanghaforian is Highlight for spannable strings enabled by default? – DIRTY DAVE Nov 28 '19 at 18:22

This will remove any highlight.

tv.setHighlightColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);

ClickableSpan linkClick = new ClickableSpan() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View view) {
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Link Click",
                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        view.invalidate();
    }

    @Override
    public void updateDrawState(TextPaint ds) {
        if (textView.isPressed()) {
            ds.setColor(Color.BLUE);
        } else {
            ds.setColor(Color.RED);
        }
        textView.invalidate();
    }
};
textView.setHighlightColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);

Spannable spannableString = new SpannableString("Link in TextView");
spannableString.setSpan(linkClick, 0, 4, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
textView.setText(spannableString, TextView.BufferType.SPANNABLE);
textView.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());

It's working. But like @ShihabUddin said, is there a way to implement this on a single `TextView` with multiple `ClickableSpan`s? — LuckMan, Dec 07 '20 at 08:45

u can replace default highlightColor android:textColorHighlight

    <TextView
    android:id="@+id/tv_tip"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textColor="#727998"
    android:textColorHighlight="@android:color/transparent"
    tools:text="@string/_tip" />

or disable focus
