The "http:/" in your code of
"Linkify.addLinks(license, pattern, "http:/https://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask")"
twice doesn't help.

Just use:

Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("www.stackoverflow.com/questions/ask");
Linkify.addLinks(license, pattern, "http://");

Where the text that you mention in pattern should be a part of the text you set in your TextView

actually i have text about 5 lines and i am adding pattern for that given word like license. and want to open a specific web page onclick. – dev_android Apr 29 '14 at 05:38
you can just specify the word in pattern, that should work...for your textview – Pararth Apr 29 '14 at 05:39
is it opening the page or not? – Pararth Apr 29 '14 at 05:47
no my link is same as Linkify.addLinks(license, pattern, "http://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask") and adding %20 from device.(http hidden in comment) – dev_android Apr 29 '14 at 05:50
pls change your pattern.compile and evaluate the string value. Also have a look at [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4746293/android-linkify-textview), where is it adding the %20 ? – Pararth Apr 29 '14 at 06:06

Try this:

TextView tvWeblink = ((TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView));
        tvWeblink.setTypeface(LandingScreen.font);

        tvWeblink.setClickable(true);
        tvWeblink.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
        String text = "By pressing this It will open stack overflow page <a href=\"http://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask/\"> ask a question. </a>.";
        tvWeblink.setText(Html.fromHtml(text));

Linkify is adding %20 in my url and is not opening exact url
