LInkify block onclick event

Question

I have some TextView objects that I have onclick listeners assigned to. The onclick listeners work fine unless I run Linkify.addLinks on the TextView objects, at which point the onclick event never happens. This happens regardless of whether anything in the TextView is actually linkified. Is there a way to have both events happen, or at least be able to predict whether anything is or would be linkified in the text?

At this point I'm not sure there is an answer to this. I will continue to vote up any answers anyone provides here, though — atraudes, Jul 11 '11 at 20:42

Linkify.addLinks() returns a boolean which indicates if it found links in the text or not. There is no need to do a before/after comparison like Guillaume suggested.

I don't know if you found an answer or not as this question is rather old, but I just found it while looking for another problem (not exactly similar) and I can help (a bit): there is an easy way to "detect" whether Linkify modifies the text: just compares it with the original. Something like:

String originalText = textView.getText().toString();
Linkify.addLinks(textView, Linkify.ALL);
String linkifiedText = textView.getText().toString();

if (originalText.equals(linkifiedText)) {
    // linkify did not do anything...
}

Man you rock for responding to this old post. I'll check it out — atraudes, Jan 24 '12 at 15:31
