I have a textView and I want to make the text clickable (urls and phone numbers)

I have successfully been using Linkify ex

Linkify.addLinks(tvDescription, Linkify.ALL);

Now I would like to make the text selectable using 

tvDescription.setTextIsSelectable(true);

It does also work as long as I dont Linkify my textView.

If I use both lines of code

tvDescription.setTextIsSelectable(true);
Linkify.addLinks(tvDescription, Linkify.ALL);

the text will by linkifyed but the text wont be selectable.

I have been trying

tvDescription.setAutoLinkMask(Linkify.ALL);

but this does not seem to work at all.

How can I linkify my textView as well as make my text selectable?

Thanks for any response

  • By googling around I found these links [Link 1](http://cogitas.net/blog/2011/01/05/linkify-your-android-textview/) and [Link 2](http://www.indelible.org/ink/android-linkify/). These might be useful for you – silwar Dec 10 '12 at 13:19
  • From what I can find on these pages they are descriptions on how you can use and customize the use of Linkify. I have no problems with the functionality of Linkify. Its just that setTextIsSelectable(true) does not work while I use it and I don't know why. – M3rd0n Dec 10 '12 at 13:34
