LinkifiedTextView

This library intends to leverage what Linkify does but directly embedded inside a TextView with some preconfigured detectable link types.

Moreover, Linkify has a most often unwanted behavior that intercept touches inside the whole TextView instead of only the links that matches the activated link types. Hence, using Linkify results in a nearly non-clickable view. This is particularly annoying while working with a list of items that contains a big TextView inside.

It also comes with an utility TextView class that lets you easily define your custom fonts. This comes very handy while using iconic fonts!

Download

Add this in your root build.gradle file:

allprojects {
	repositories {
		// ... other repositories
		maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
	}
}

Then add the dependencies that you need in your project.

compile 'com.github.stephenvinouze:linkifiedtextview:{latest_version}'

Usage

TextView that detects links

Detecting links inside your TextView can be achieved by using the LinkTextView class

<com.stephenvinouze.linkifiedtextview.LinkTextView
            android:id="@+id/web_link"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            app:tvLinkText="<your_link_text>" // Mandatory : If you want the links to be detected you must use this property
            app:tvLinkTextColor="<your_link_color>" // Optional : default is Color.BLUE
            app:tvLinkType="<your_link_type>"/> // Optional : default is none, can be a combination of web|hashtag|screenname|email or all

You can listen to link click events using the OnLinkClickListener interface

LinkTextView webLink = (LinkTextView)findViewById(R.id.web_link);
webLink.setOnLinkClickListener(new OnLinkClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onLinkClick(View textView, String link, int type) {
        // Do whatever you need here using the link content and its type
    }
});

TextView with custom fonts

If you need to use a custom font that you previously added in your assets folder, use the FontTextView class

<com.stephenvinouze.linkifiedtextview.FontTextView
            android:id="@+id/custom_font_text"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="<your_text>"
            app:tvFontName="<your_font_name>.<font_name_extension>"/>

Works also for EditText :

<com.stephenvinouze.linkifiedtextview.FontTEditText
            android:id="@+id/custom_font_text"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="<your_text>"
            app:tvFontName="<your_font_name>.<font_name_extension>"/>

Note

LinkTextView inherits from FontTextView so you can easily customize your font as well as detecting link using LinkTextView.
