I am creating a ClickableSpan, and it is displaying properly with
the proper text underlined. However the clicks are not registering.
Do you know what I am doing wrong???
Thanks, Victor
Here is the code snippet:
view.setText("This is a test");
ClickableSpan span = new ClickableSpan() {
@Override
public void onClick(View widget) {
log("Clicked");
}
};
view.getText().setSpan(span, 0, view.getText().length(),
Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
Have you tried setting the MovementMethod on the TextView that contains the span? You need to do that to make the clicking work...
tv.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
After some trial and error, the sequence of setting the tv.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
does matter.
Here's my full code
String stringTerms = getString(R.string.sign_up_terms);
Spannable spannable = new SpannableString(stringTerms);
int indexTermsStart = stringTerms.indexOf("Terms");
int indexTermsEnd = indexTermsStart + 18;
spannable.setSpan(new UnderlineSpan(), indexTermsStart, indexTermsEnd, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
spannable.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(getColor(R.color.theme)), indexTermsStart, indexTermsEnd, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
spannable.setSpan(new ClickableSpan() {
@Override
public void onClick(View widget) {
Log.d(TAG, "TODO onClick.. Terms and Condition");
}
}, indexTermsStart, indexTermsEnd, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
int indexPolicyStart = stringTerms.indexOf("Privacy");
int indexPolicyEnd = indexPolicyStart + 14;
spannable.setSpan(new UnderlineSpan(), indexPolicyStart, indexPolicyEnd, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
spannable.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(getColor(R.color.theme)), indexPolicyStart, indexPolicyEnd, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
spannable.setSpan(new ClickableSpan() {
@Override
public void onClick(View widget) {
Log.d(TAG, "TODO onClick.. Privacy Policy");
}
}, indexPolicyStart, indexPolicyEnd, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
TextView textViewTerms = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.sign_up_terms_text);
textViewTerms.setText(spannable);
textViewTerms.setClickable(true);
textViewTerms.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
Kotlin util function:
fun setClickable(textView: TextView, subString: String, handler: () -> Unit, drawUnderline: Boolean = false) {
val text = textView.text
val start = text.indexOf(subString)
val end = start + subString.length
val span = SpannableString(text)
span.setSpan(ClickHandler(handler, drawUnderline), start, end, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE)
textView.linksClickable = true
textView.isClickable = true
textView.movementMethod = LinkMovementMethod.getInstance()
textView.text = span
}
class ClickHandler(
private val handler: () -> Unit,
private val drawUnderline: Boolean
) : ClickableSpan() {
override fun onClick(widget: View?) {
handler()
}
override fun updateDrawState(ds: TextPaint?) {
if (drawUnderline) {
super.updateDrawState(ds)
} else {
ds?.isUnderlineText = false
}
}
}
Usage:
Utils.setClickable(textView, subString, {handleClick()})
