How to make ListItem Textview to work as Twitter Tweets and get Different Linkify clicks?

Question

For Eg :

Follow @SoccerBible, RT this & if Ronaldo scores https://bit.ly/133/com tonight we'll give away a pair of Nike Clash Vapor 8's to one lucky winner! #RonaldoComp

In my listview component. Where i am showing list of tweets. I have colored the @,# and urls in the tweet text. The all are dynamically clickable.

My question is how can i make the non-colored text as clickable. I have used Linkify.addLinks and Pattern API to make them clickable. But i wanted the non @,# and url text to be clicakble without adding any color to it.

Thanks, dominic

There is no prob in writing a click event for the textView.Then that comes to the point all the textViews will be redirected to the same event. This has to be dyanamic. — dominic, Jun 22 '12 at 07:41
then in onClick..get id as `view.getId()` and write switch..case for each id. to redirect to differnt screen — MKJParekh, Jun 22 '12 at 08:27
There is only one textView for all the tweets. getView repeats them for the list. I wanna trap the onItemClick event for the listview. That does not work coz i have implemented the Linkify and Pattern as i said above. — dominic, Jun 22 '12 at 08:47
I have also done the same in one of my app, as there was a requirement to show same tweet list with linkify..you just check [this link](http://www.orangeapple.org/post/14809024490/android-custom-hyperlinked-textview) and I am sure your problems will be solved. — MKJParekh, Jun 22 '12 at 08:59
Hey Thanks, this works fine. Still where can the non highlighted text or non colored event be trapped? — dominic, Jun 22 '12 at 09:17

For twitter app, I had also the same requirement to click on handles of tweets and also click on the text of tweet to get Tweet detail.

For that I have used this LinkEnabledTextView and that become easy for me to do the task.

I just added the class in my project and then in List Item instead simple TextView I used object/instance of the LinkEnabledTextView.

There is a complete demo in above link, Please check that.

EDIT: Adapter Code Specially check onTextLinkClick() and then holder.twtdata.setOnClickListener()

    private static class EfficientAdapter extends BaseAdapter implements TextLinkClickListener {
        private LayoutInflater mInflater;
        static int pos =0;
        public EfficientAdapter(Context context) {
            mInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
        }

        public int getCount() {
            return timelines.length;
        }

        public Object getItem(int position) {
            return position;
        }

        public long getItemId(int position) {
            return position;
        }

        public View getView(final int position, View convertView,
                ViewGroup parent) {

            ViewHolder holder;
            if (convertView == null) {
                convertView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.listtimerow, null);
                holder = new ViewHolder();
                holder.twtdata = (LinkEnabledTextView) convertView
                        .findViewById(R.id.twtdata);
                holder.twtnm = (TextView) convertView
                        .findViewById(R.id.twthandle);
                holder.twtimg = (ImageView) convertView
                        .findViewById(R.id.avatar);
                holder.twtdt = (TextView) convertView
                        .findViewById(R.id.created);
                convertView.setTag(holder);
            } else {
                holder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
            }
               holder.twtdata.setOnTextLinkClickListener(this);
                holder.twtdata.gatherLinksForText(timelines[position]);
                holder.twtdata.setTextColor(Color.BLACK);
                holder.twtdata.setLinkTextColor(Color.BLUE);

                MovementMethod m = holder.twtdata.getMovementMethod();
                if ((m == null) || !(m instanceof LinkMovementMethod)) {
                    if (holder.twtdata.getLinksClickable()) {
                        holder.twtdata.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
                    }
                }

            if (bmpimg1[position] != null)

                    + getMonthName(credate.getMonth());
            holder.twtdt.setText(dt);

Hi, I resolved the code it runs but gives a error on the line. list.setAdapter(adapter); Ive created the object of the adapter class as EfficientAdapter adapter = new EfficientAdapter(getBaseContext()); on the onCreate() method. — dominic, Jun 22 '12 at 10:24

now check, Ive added them, the data is printed in the log. But while on the line setAdapter it says there is an error. — dominic, Jun 22 '12 at 11:00
holder.tweet_text = (LinkEnabledTextView) convertView .findViewById(R.id.tweet_text); It shows an error on this line particular. — dominic, Jun 22 '12 at 12:27
did your changed in XML from TextView to LinkEnabledTextView for the tweet_text , you need to replace TextView with LinkEnabledTextView in XML Layout file also. — MKJParekh, Jun 22 '12 at 12:28
