Creating a hyperlink within a textview inside a fragment

Question

I have looked through many of the threads on this site to find the solution to my problem but none seem to work. At the moment I am able to create a hyperlink while displaying the website eg - Please go here - www.google.com (The www.google.com is hyperlinked). What I am trying to do is have the link as - Please go here (Here is the link). Below is the code i have tried but once I remove the link itself, the 'here' still highlights like a link but has no function.

Strings.xml:

<string name="goog">Please go <a href="www.google.com">here</a></string>

fragment_home.xml:

 <TextView
    android:id="@+id/npd"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
    android:autoLink="web"
    android:fontFamily="sans-serif-light"
    android:linksClickable="true"
    android:text="@string/npd"
    android:textColorLink="#FF0000"
    android:textSize="12dp" />

If i change 'here' for www.google.com within Strings.xml, the link takes me directly there. Has anyone been able to figure this problem out yet? Thanks in advance.

Try this and let me know is it what you are looking for

TextView textView =(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView);
textView.setClickable(true);
textView.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
String text = "<a href='http://www.google.com'> Google </a>";
textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(text));

Thank you for your help. Obviously due to it being within a fragment i had to use different code for the view call. Once this was changed it worked perfectly. Your a life saver :) – RunningWalks Jun 25 '14 at 09:06
