I need that all of these links where clickable and with name beetwen name_of_link

I have the next code, wich parsing needed xml-file

        ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> mylist = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();

    String xml = XMLfunctions.getXML(resourceURL);
    Document doc = XMLfunctions.XMLfromString(xml);
    NodeList nodes = doc.getElementsByTagName("item");

    for (int i = 0; i < nodes.getLength(); i++) {                           
        HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();    
        Element e = (Element)nodes.item(i);
        map.put(KEY_TITLE, XMLfunctions.getValue(e, KEY_TITLE));
        map.put(KEY_DATE_TIME, "Date: "+XMLfunctions.formatDate(XMLfunctions.getValue(e, KEY_DATE_TIME)));



        map.put(KEY_DESC, Html.fromHtml(XMLfunctions.getValue(e, KEY_DESC),null,null).toString());
        map.put(KEY_LINK, Html.fromHtml(XMLfunctions.getValue(e, KEY_LINK)).toString());
        mylist.add(map);            
    }       


    ListAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(this, mylist , R.layout.main, 
                    new String[] { "title","pubDate", "description","link" }, 
                    new int[] { R.id.item_title, R.id.item_pubdate, R.id.item_subtitle, R.id.item_link });

    setListAdapter(adapter);

My question is : how to parse and transform data that in output i will get normal text with clickable links, like in this source http://feeds.feedburner.com/ainua?format=xml

I'm very sorry for wasting your time if this arcticle is already exist, but unfortunately, i don't know how to fing it. Any help is appreciated, because i've spend many hours trying to resolve this task, but i don't where i need to look for. Thx.

try `android:autoLink="all"` on your TextView inside your layout xml — FoamyGuy, Mar 08 '13 at 20:59

I would try to implement my own Adapter-Class for the ListView and modify the views created for each row in the adapters corresponding method.

Those link is not clickable )) ...(((..Could you tell where i need to look for, to make this link clickable? The content (for example, "Some text, google.com") in ListActivity container is not clickable. How to fix it? – user2149862 Mar 09 '13 at 18:29

You need to parse the HTML yourself if you don't want to use HTML.fromHTML(), while you can easily fetch the href links with RegEx, you still need to handle the image tags, lists, etc so RegEx is not the real answer. This question should help: Parse HTML in Android

In case you decide to try parsing the HTML with RegEx, please read: RegEx match open tags except XHTML self-co҉ntained tags. It explains why RegEx cannot do th̵is.
