copied!<p>The <code>autoLink</code> attribute has an annoying bug: if you click in your example on the phone number, then return back and click on the second url link - it will open the phone number again. This attribute works so bad with multiple links, that I have implemented my own class, here is the link on Github <a href="https://github.com/vortexwolf/2ch-Browser/blob/79da45711dc2fb07a794ed0e0d47f619fb77ad09/src/com/vortexwolf/dvach/common/controls/ClickableLinksTextView.java">ClickableLinksTextView.java</a></p> <p>In your example you can replace your <code>TextView</code> class by my <code>ClickableLinksTextView</code> class in the xml-layout and change the code like this:</p> <pre><code>ClickableLinksTextView textView = (ClickableLinksTextView)view.findViewById(R.id.mytext); textView.setText("My text: +4412345678 Go to website: www.google.com Blah blah"); Linkify.addLinks(textView, Linkify.ALL); if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) { textView.setMovementMethod(ArrowKeyMovementMethod.getInstance()); textView.setTextIsSelectable(true); // the autoLink attribute must be removed, if you hasn't set it then ok, otherwise call textView.setAutoLink(0); } </code></pre> <p>The original cause of the issue in your question is that the <code>LinkMovementMethod</code> class and the <code>textIsSelectable</code> attribute are not compatible at all, even Android OS developers admit this in <a href="http://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/ext/com.google.android/android/4.1.2_r1/android/widget/TextView.java#3494">the Android OS source code</a>.</p> <blockquote> <p><em>Do not change the movement method for text that support text selection as it would prevent an arbitrary cursor displacement.</em></p> </blockquote> <p>If the text view is selectable, the only 2 correct movement method values are <code>null</code> and <code>ArrowKeyMovementMethod</code>. That's why I set <code>ArrowKeyMovementMethod</code> explicitly in my example, because the <code>Linkify.addLinks</code> sets an incorrect movement method and I should revert it.</p> <p>As to the bug of the autoLink attribute, it is because android developers haven't copied link detection properly. You can look at the code example in the answer of @cheng yang, the code just takes the first link no matter how many of them you have.</p>
