Adding Onclick animation to spanned sections of spannablestringbuilder

Question

I have successfully implemented the SpannableStringBuilder such that sections are colored differently and are click-able. However I need to include some onclick animation for a better user experience. How can I implement this. I have done a lot of unsuccessful research and methods.

Here is a pseudo-code I use:

ForegroundColorSpan span = new ForegroundColorSpan(color);
spannablestringBuilder.setSpan(span, 0, 5, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
spannablestringBuilder.setSpan(new RelativeSizeSpan(1.5f), 0, 5, 0);

textView.setText(stringBuilder);
