You can do that programmatically. Remove the autoLink attribute from TextView.

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/textView"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

In your Activity class,

TextView textView = FindViewById<TextView>(Resource.Id.textView);
textView.TextFormatted = Html.FromHtml("Please read our " +
                "<a href=\"http://www.xamarin.com\">Rules and Conditions</a> " +
                "before using app.");

textView.MovementMethod = LinkMovementMethod.Instance;

Now you have to add FromHtmlOptions enum inside FromHtml methode for not be deprecated, like: textView.TextFormatted = Html.FromHtml("Please read our " + "Rules and Conditions " + "before using app.", FromHtmlOptions.ModeLegacy); – ali Jan 16 '20 at 10:43
