How to show links in Html.fromHtml if they were in
element?

Question

Greetings!

I want to format this HTML into textview:

<p><a href="https://developerfromjokela.com">Attachment</a></p>

I expect <a> element to be like this:

Screenshot with expected result

What I get this instead:

Screenshot with problem

I think problem happens, because:

Html class can't get links from element's child

Here is my code:

if (message.getContentHtml().split("<p>").length > 2)
                messageText.setText(HtmlCompat.fromHtml(message.getContentHtml(), HtmlCompat.FROM_HTML_SEPARATOR_LINE_BREAK_BLOCKQUOTE));
            else
                messageText.setText(HtmlCompat.fromHtml(message.getContentHtml(), HtmlCompat.FROM_HTML_SEPARATOR_LINE_BREAK_HEADING).toString().trim());

There is this trim because HTML.fromHtml is generating some spaces, and if there is only one row, it can be trimmed to look nice in UI. I tried removing it, but still link is not shown.

Thanks for helping Regards.

If you give the value from string file in your layout and add this `textView.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());` in your java code will just work fine. — Muthukrishnan Rajendran, May 04 '19 at 19:24
Problem is that the HTML string comes from the server, it's not static string, and that method is already added. — DFJ, May 04 '19 at 19:25
But even dynamic they have the answer [in the same link](https://stackoverflow.com/a/8722574/900128) — Muthukrishnan Rajendran, May 04 '19 at 19:31
But my problem is not that my link is not clickable, but Html class doesn't recognize it as a element if it's inside a
element. Do you understand? First image is the same link without being inside
