You should convert it to a Color. Try:

mText.setLinkTextColor(Color.parseColor("#2f6699"));

What about WebView? `Spannable sp = new SpannableString(Html.fromHtml(html)); Linkify.addLinks(sp, Linkify.ALL); webView.loadDataWithBaseURL(path, Html.toHtml(sp), "text/html", "utf-8", null);` How to change link color in this situation? – Alex Semeniuk Apr 08 '14 at 11:55

You can use also android:textColorLink="#2f6699" in xml.

Try something like this:

noteView.setLinkTextColor(Color.green);

If you want to set an hexadecimal color:

noteView.setLinkTextColor(Color.argb(int alpha, int red, int green, int blue));

Replacing alpha/red/green/blue with the desired values. The documentation on the Color class can be found here

As resources.getColor() function deprecated we can try this alternative way.

textView.setLinkTextColor(ContextCompat.getColor(this,R.color.colorBlue))

Thanks.
