3 ===================================
4
5 This sample illustrates how links can be added to a TextView. This can be done either
6 automatically by setting the "autoLink" property or explicitly.

8 Introduction
9 ------------
10
11 This sample demonstrates how clickable links can be added to a `TextView` in Android.
12
13 This can be done in three ways:
14
15 - **Automatically:** Text added to a TextView can automatically be linkified by enabling
16 autoLinking. In XML, use the `android:autoLink` property, programatically call
17 [android.widget.TextView#setAutoLinkMask(int)][1] using an option from
18 [android.text.util.Linkify][2].
19 - **Parsing a String as HTML:** See [android.text.Html#fromHtml(String)][3].
20 - **Manually by constructing a [android.text.SpannableString][4]:** Consisting of
21 [android.text.style.StyleSpan][5] and [android.text.style.URLSpan][6] objects that
22 are contained within a [android.text.SpannableString][7].
