I am using a amazone apps with my current apps. In the textview the text is "click here to go to seven easy steps" — Varsha, Nov 21 '12 at 06:27
post all your java code where you declare the downloadLink() function please ! — toantran, Nov 21 '12 at 06:28
String skuKye="DeveloperSKU-1234"; final Set skuSet = new HashSet(); public void downloadLink(View v) { //String requestId = PurchasingManager.initiatePurchaseRequest(skuKye); //String requestId=PurchasingManager.initiateItemDataRequest("DeveloperSKU-1234"); skuSet.add(skuKye); final String requestId = PurchasingManager.initiateItemDataRequest(skuSet); } private OnClickListener purchaseClickListener = new OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) { final String requestId = PurchasingManager.initiateItemDataRequest(skuSet); } }; — Varsha, Nov 21 '12 at 06:35
android:onClick is for API level 4 onwards, so if you're targeting < 1.6, then you can't use it. — Android, Nov 21 '12 at 06:48

Well, I use the following code to make a TextView clickable.

First, add this at your activity.xml, to make TextView clikable:

<TextView
    android:id=android:id="@+id/button2" <!-- id to get this TextView -->
    (...)
    android:onClick="onClick"  <!-- Add the function onClick() -->
    android:clickable="true"   <!-- Set the boolean clickable to true -->
/>

Then, at your MainActivity.java, you add:

private TextView textview;    

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);    
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);  

    // Get the TextView by id
    textview = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.button2);

    textview.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
              // TODO when clicked on your link(TextView)
        }
    });
}

As I see now that you are trying to make a link from the TextView clickable, not just be able to click on the TextView I will let a link below to a similar question solved in Stack Overflow that you might find helpful.

The android developer reference to TextView:
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.html

The similar question in Stack Overflow about how to make a links in a clickable that might be helpful:

You may use like this

<TextView
                            android:id="@+id/topPaid"
                            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                            android:autoLink="all"
                            android:clickable="true"                           
                            android:text="@string/topPaid"
                            android:textColor="#000000"
                            android:textColorLink="#33CC33" />

and At activity

TextView topPaid = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.topPaid);

Linkify.addLinks(topPaid, Linkify.ALL);

topPaid.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View v) {

//write ur logic
}
}

Linkify.addLinks(topPaid, Linkify.ALL); topPaid.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance()); // t1.setClickable(true); topPaid.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { //ur logic} }); — mini, Nov 21 '12 at 10:34
