Android :: Create TextView With A Link That Opens In Browser
Oct 1, 2009
I would like to create a TextView that would contain a single link, e.g. google.com. After click it would open google.com in browser. I found a way how to do it, but it's a bit slow, can this be done more efficiently? Now I use this code:
TextView link = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.link); link.setText(Html.fromHtml("<a href="http://www.google.com">google</ a>")); link.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());

I need to create a simple link in my Android app. Let's say that it would display text "Google" and after user clicks on it, http://google.com opens in web browser. What is the easiest way to do this? The link should change color whhen it's in pressed state.

I have a Textview with location:
eg. "Mountain View, CA"
What I want to achieve is to create this text to act like a Link - color,underline, focusability etc.
This link doesn't need to direct anywhere - surrounding view has attached onClick listener that fires google maps intent.

Basically I just want to have an app which opens the Contact associated with that e-mail when someone taps on an e-mail address.I know this would overwrite the function of Compose (if it is already selected), so the best option would be for this app to give two option.
Tap on email (in email to, sender, email body, or website, etc..)Window pops up and has two options
-- CONTACTS
when Contact selected, it opens the contact in View mode so we can see contact details.
-- COMPOSE
when Compose is selected, it opens list of e-mail apps (OR if a default is selected already, runs that app)

I am developing droid apps with eclipse (new to both) and have a basic Layout question. When using the layout tab (rather than the coding tab) in my main.xml, I am trying to create a home screen for when my app opens.
There is going to be the logo at the top center, then 3 simple buttons below, all centered. How do I go about formatting the Logo so it maintains a size relative to the person's screen size, and stays in the center?
I don't want to write sloppy code to where my program looks fine (UI wise) on my screen and is poorly formatted on other's screens. Also, is there good documentation explaining all of the Property values in the layout view?

I am using Android emulator with AVD of Android 2.1 and I have the following problem: Trying to load a URL in a WebView using webView.loadUrl causes it to open in the browser instead.Note: I am talking about the initial opening, not the issue in which links from the WebView open in a browser, though, perhaps it is somehow connected.I've tried several things:I've removed <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> from the manifest. That actually made it work correctly, i.e, load the html into the webview. However, as one would expect, the only thing it loaded is "unable to connect the internet" error page.I've debugged the project to make sure and indeed at loadUrl function, it opens Android browser. The CatLog at this point is as such:05-23 22:54:06.858: INFO/Activity Manager(51): Starting activity: Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW cat=[android. intent. category.BROWSABLE]dat=http://m.walla.co.il/ErrorPage.aspx?ReturnUrl=/Default.aspx
cmp=com.android.browser/.BrowserActivity i've tried downloading a real sample project ("Hello Android" book source files, project - BrowserView). However, it didn't work just the same. I've created a new project and followed the directions at Google's official tutorial of using WebView and got the same result.I haven't find anyone else complaining about it. Why does it happen?

I'm trying to create a textView in the parent activity onActivityResult but the textView does not appear. There is an ImageView that takes up the whole parent activity. I can create a textView and place it, and it should go on top of the imageView?
In the parent class:
[HIGH]private void addClothes(int menuId) {
Intent chooseClothesIntent = new Intent(this, ChooseClothesActivity.class);
chooseClothesIntent.putExtra("menuId", menuId);
startActivityForResult(chooseClothesIntent, 1);
}[/HIGH]
[Code]...
then in my new activity:
[HIGH]@Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
try {
ClothingItem ci = mListContents.get(position);
String imagePath = ci.getImagePath();
[Code]...

I find myself stuck in something I think would be really easy to solve. My app contains a lot of TextViews and ImageViews, and one TextView contains the content listed. I want each element of the displayed content internally linked to the respective TextView. Probably the TextView isn't the right element to use, but I have trouble finding the right element.
The internal link should work exactly like internal links in html-documents... is this possible to achieve in Android?
strings.xml:
CODE:............
main.xml:
CODE:.................................

I'm currently rendering HTML input in a TextView like so:
CODE:......................................
The HTML being displayed is provided to me via an external resource, so I cannot change things around as I will, but I can, of course, do some regex tampering with the HTML, to change the href value, say, to something else.
What I want is to be able to handle a link click directly from within the app, rather than having the link open a browser window. Is this achievable at all? I'm guessing it would be possible to set the protocol of the href-value to something like "myApp://", and then register something that would let my app handle that protocol. If this is indeed the best way, I'd like to know how that is done, but I'm hoping there's an easier way to just say, "when a link is clicked in this textview, I want to raise an event that receives the href value of the link as an input parameter"

Is there any way that I can link a keyword in a TextView to a file or directory on the user's SD card? My app produces stack trace files when it crashes and I want the user to able to click a link in my About dialog to view either the latest one or the folder containing all of them. (Something like "If this app crashes, please send [link]the latest stack.trace file[/link] to us at myapp@example.com.")

I have a TextView with its MovementMethod set to LinkMovementMethod. Text added to the TextView is a combination of normal text and URLs. For URLs, I would like to offer a context menu when the URL is long pressed for doing things such as copying the address. I've had a look at the source for LinkMovementMethod but it doesn't seem to have any long pressed related code I could override. Any ideas on how to go around achieving this?

How do you open a link in a new tab when using the dolphin browser? I assumed long pressing the link would bring up an option but it does not, unless its just mine. I am running 2.0.1 on droid if it makes a difference.

I have a ListView that uses Linkify to create a link to another activity in my app. the url looks something like content://com.myapp/activitiy/view?param=blah
This works fine every time.
However, in another view, I'm trying to call some code like this:
CODE:.............
But for some reason this doesn't seem to work. It doesn't trigger my activity (and in fact it blows up if i dont include the setAction() call. How am I supposed to create the Intent such that it acts the same way that Linkify does...?
Now i realize i can setup the extras and then handle it in the activity, but that just seems like duplicated effort.

Using G1, go to http://www.myspace.com. Notice the site is able to detect the user agent from the browser and provides a link to search the MySpace application on the Android Marketplace. Google's http://code.google.com/android/devel/sign-publish.html# publishing provides options to search, e.g. http://market.android.com/search?q=pname:<package>. This does not work for me.

My app creates a lot of TextView objects and this turns out to be really slow. A look at the traceview output reveals that the bulk of the time is spent in the TextView methods that grab all the default parameters from /res and /util. The thing is, all my TextViews share 99% of these parameters. Is it possible to clone a TextView rather than create one from scratch? If not, what about if I created a pool of TextView objects and reused them?
Just to give some context, I'm generating a spreadsheet to show some data provided from an online source and the spreadsheet can be as big as 20 columns by 50 rows = 1000 cells, each with a TextView. It takes about 25 seconds just to create 1000 TextViews on my Moto Droid.
