    text
    copied!<p>I have a TextView with android:autoLink="web". The text contains some URLs.</p> <p>For example:<br> <a href="http://example.com/" rel="nofollow">http://example.com/</a></p> <p>But when rendered, it links the name scheme and domain name but ignores the root path.</p> <p>Example renders as:<br> <a href="http://example.com" rel="nofollow">http://example.com</a>/</p> <p>Why does it do this and how do I make it autolink fully qualified URLs properly?</p> <p>Edit: Also, URLs followed by a fullstop or comma:<br> <a href="http://example.com/" rel="nofollow">http://example.com/</a>,</p> <p>Are being rendered as:<br> <a href="http://example.com/," rel="nofollow">http://example.com/,</a></p> <p>Note that StackExchange autolinks correctly (look at the source for this question).</p> <p>Edit: Sam, this is the code:</p> <pre><code> &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/open_source" android:text="@string/open_source" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textColor="#FFF" android:paddingBottom="10dp" android:autoLink="web" /&gt; </code></pre> <p>Some text:</p> <pre><code>&lt;string name="open_source"&gt;Three examples, fully qualified http://isokeys.sourceforge.net/ missing root path http://isokeys.sourceforge.net and followed with a fullstop http://isokeys.sourceforge.net/.&lt;/string&gt; </code></pre> <p>Should render as:<br> Three examples, fully qualified <a href="http://isokeys.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">http://isokeys.sourceforge.net/</a> missing root path <a href="http://isokeys.sourceforge.net" rel="nofollow">http://isokeys.sourceforge.net</a> and followed with a fullstop <a href="http://isokeys.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">http://isokeys.sourceforge.net/</a>.</p> <p>Is rendered as:<br> Three examples, fully qualified <a href="http://isokeys.sourceforge.net" rel="nofollow">http://isokeys.sourceforge.net</a>/ missing root path <a href="http://isokeys.sourceforge.net" rel="nofollow">http://isokeys.sourceforge.net</a> and followed with a fullstop <a href="http://isokeys.sourceforge.net/." rel="nofollow">http://isokeys.sourceforge.net/.</a></p>
