Android Marquee TextView Clickable Links

Question

I have a TextView in my app. It is a marquee text. I want to make this marquee text's links are clickable. How can i do this?

Thanks for help.

Edit: My codes:

Xml:

android:id="@+id/marquee_text"
android:autoLink="web"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:ellipsize="marquee"
android:marqueeRepeatLimit="marquee_forever"
android:singleLine="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:scrollHorizontally="true"
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true" 
android:text=" "

Java:

marqueeText.setLinksClickable(true);
marqueeText.setText(marquee);//marquee is a string

Via XML:
```
android:autoLink="web"
```

Via Code:

txtView.setAutoLinkMask(Linkify.WEB_URLS)

`Links are being clickable, if i longclick on textview and set input method`. Is that what you want? the links to be clickable? – iTurki Aug 29 '12 at 13:04

Try Linkify to add link to textview.

mTextSample = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textSample);
String text = "Visit my blog jtomlinson.blogspot.com You can see Marquee also here";
mTextSample.setText(text);
//jmt: pattern we want to match and turn into a clickable link
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("jtomlinson.blogspot.com");
//jmt: prefix our pattern with http://
Linkify.addLinks(mTextSample, pattern, "http://");

Set android:autoLink="web" on your TextView in your layout XML, or you can use the solution here:
