How to make an anchor tag in Android click

this is my code:

TextView aboutL1 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.aboutL2);
    aboutL1.setText(Html.fromHtml("This app is open source.<br>The source code is hosted on <a href=\"http://herp.com/derp\">Github</a> "));
    Linkify.addLinks(aboutL1, Linkify.ALL);

The word github appears as a link, but nothing happens when I click on the link ...

You need to call setMovementMethod :

aboutL1.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());


(you don't even need to call Linkify.addLinks

as you used Html.fromHtml

, but I can't completely remember).

aboutL1.setLinksClickable(true);

in XML should be



<TextView
    android:id="@+id/aboutL2"
    android:autoLink="web"
    android:linksClickable="true"
/>
