  1. POAndroid: Display a pop-up dialog when a particular word in a TextView is clicked
    text
    copied!<p>In my application, I have some text for terms and conditions.</p> <blockquote> <p>By registering you agree to be bound by our Terms of Use and that you have read our Privacy Policy.</p> </blockquote> <p>The words <em>Terms of Use</em> and <em>Privacy Policy</em> should be clickable, and display an alert box.</p> <p>First I tried splitting the sentences into four <code>TextView</code>s:</p> <ol> <li>By registering you agree to be bound by our </li> <li>Terms of Use</li> <li>and that you have read our</li> <li>Privacy Policy.</li> </ol> <p>This worked well, with the following layout XML:</p> <pre><code> &lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/termsandcondtion" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="5dp" android:layout_marginRight="5dp" android:orientation="horizontal" &gt; &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/terms_1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/terms_1" android:textColor="#000000" android:textSize="12dp" /&gt; &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/terms" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:clickable="true" android:onClick="showTerms" android:text="@string/terms_2" android:textColor="#000000" android:textSize="12dp" /&gt; &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/terms_3" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/terms_3" android:textColor="#000000" android:textSize="12dp" /&gt; &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/termsofuse" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:clickable="true" android:onClick="showTermsofUse" android:text="@string/terms_4" android:textColor="#000000" android:textSize="12dp" /&gt; &lt;/LinearLayout&gt; </code></pre> <p>The code for displaying the popup is:</p> <pre><code>WebView wv = new WebView(this); wv.loadUrl(url); wv.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() { @Override public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) { view.loadUrl(url); return true; } }); AlertDialog.Builder alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(this); alert.setTitle("Privacy Policy"); alert.setView(wv); alert.setNegativeButton("Close", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) { } }); alert.show(); </code></pre> <p>The problem is that the four <code>TextView</code>s are not properly aligned with each other. This means I have to use one <code>TextView</code> and display a pop-up diaplog when a particular word (Terms of Use, Privacy Policy) in <code>TextView</code> is clicked.</p> <p>What is the best way to do this?</p>
