Android TextView - Clickable Links and Clickable View

Question

I have a TextView, in which I am putting some HTML content using Html.fromHtml(). The TextView has an onClick() method, which is used to perform several actions. Sometimes the HTML that is in the TextView contains links, which are recognised as links, but are unclickable. I can make them clickable, but then that stops the onClick method.

My question is, is there a way that, if the user clicks on a link then the link opens, but if the user doesnt click on a link then the onClick() method for the TextView is called, rather than it being either one or the other for every click.

Thanks

You may use Linkify to do it in code:

Linkify.addLinks(yourTextView, Linkify.ALL);

Unfortuantely that doesnt help. The links are in the HTML, and they do appear as hyperlinks (blue underlined), but they're just not clickable. – leedsunited92 Apr 21 '12 at 12:43
are they in standard html link (`some link`) format? – waqaslam Apr 21 '12 at 14:19
Yes. I think its that the listview handles the click. Which I want it to do, but not if its a link thats been clicked. – leedsunited92 Apr 21 '12 at 15:19
ahaan so you are using it in a ListView.... try setting `android:focusable="false"` and `android:focusableInTouchMode="false"` to your ListView... – waqaslam Apr 21 '12 at 17:18
