More easier directly in the XML : with clickable = true

<TextView
                android:id="@+id/forgotPassword"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
                android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
                android:text="@string/forgotPassword"
                android:onClick="forgotPassword"
                android:clickable="true"
                />

Can you do a "long click" with XML as well? – Joshua Pinter Nov 02 '17 at 15:58 — Joshua Pinter, Nov 02 '17 at 15:58

We can also get click event on TextView same as Button & ImageView.

and method is also same for all View.

like as

view.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            }
        });

First in your java file cast your TextView by xml id

TextView tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.Id.textView1);

then,

tv.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
   @Override
   public void onClick(View v) {
      // TODO Auto-generated method stub
   }
});

Honestly, I found a flat button to work better for what I was doing with a RecyclerView:

<Button
android:id="@+id/btnFoo"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
style="?android:attr/borderlessButtonStyle"/>

Source: https://stackoverflow.com/a/30884132/2328637

Then customizing the button to fit my layout and finally adding the following to my MainActivity.java under onCreate:

Button btnFoo = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnFoo);
btnFoo.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

   @Override
   public void onClick(View v) {
      Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, FooActivity.class);
      startActivity(intent);
   }
});

This is what I was looking for. Thanks :) – rzaaeeff Aug 27 '16 at 07:53 — rzaaeeff, Aug 27 '16 at 07:53

In the xml for that TextView include the field

android:onClick="functionName"

Then in your java file associated with that xml include this function

public void functionName(View view){
// do your stuff
}

you can set a onclick listener to the texview like button.infact button inherits the properties from textview.

Though it was long ago when you asked your question. But I think that the right thing to attain what you wanted is to set TextView xml attribute android:autoLink. For example:

<TextView 
    ...
    android:autoLink="phone" />

Simply try this one:-

Implement View.OnClickListener, then simply apply switch case and define the id of your text view in the case and pass the intent.

example:-

     @Override
 public void onClick(View v) {
    //TODO Auto-generated method stub

   switch (v.getId()) {
case R.id.textView:
    startActivity(new Intent(this,CalledClass.class));

    break;

default:
    break;
}

//here textView is id for the textView I chose.

TextView is also derived of View like- EditText,ListView etc.,so we can use

textView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener());
