You can do like

Pattern p = Pattern.compile("click here");
Matcher m = p.matcher("for more info, click here");
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
boolean result = m.find();
while(result) {
    m.appendReplacement(sb, "some text which contains pattern to linkfy");
    result = m.find();
}
m.appendTail(sb);
String strWithLink = sb.toString();

textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(strWithLink));
textView.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance())

I accomplished the same thing using a Spannable object and registering a different ClickableSpan object for each one. With the Spannable you have the possibility to style the aspect of the string you want to show (text color, foreground/background color etc)

Well I disagree with this solution as you may end up in having to support multiple languages for your application and that will force you write horrible size `if-else if-else` code. – Toochka Nov 30 '15 at 21:38
No you wouldn't. I am doing my it, supporting six different languages and not using any *horrible size if-else-if* @Toochka – Blackbelt Nov 30 '15 at 21:47

In your activity/fragment you add the following:

checkBox.setText(
    Html.fromHtml(
        "<a href=\"http://www.google.com\">I agree for terms and conditions</a> "));
