try this:

 TextView t2 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text2);
t2.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());

and in the xml this:

<TextView
android:id="@+id/text2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/txtCredits"/>

In the xml remove the autolink if you are calling setMovementMethod().

you can save your url in tag, like this:

social.setTag("https://google.com");

when you want to get url do this:

String url = (String) social.getTag();

Alhamdulillah my problem is solved

in your XML :

<TextView
android:id="@+id/social"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="30dp"
android:layout_marginTop="350dp"
android:linksClickable="true"
android:text="@string/social"/>

in Your Values String

<string name="social">in here social</string>

and in your java class

TextView mSocial = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.social);
mSocial.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
                intent.setData(Uri.parse(https://google.com));
                startActivity(intent);
            }
        });

make your TextView as String "Social" but if TextView clicked can go to google.com

Change the link to the custom string that can be clicked on TextView
