    TextView can display dumbed-down tagsoup HTML, including <a href=""/> tags. If that’s in strings.xml, and you set the text using android:text, it should just happen automatically. Otherwise, you’ll need to pass the html string to Html.fromHtml(). Example:

    CheckedTextView ctv = (CheckedTextView) findViewById(R.id.whatever);
ctv.setText(Html.fromHtml("<a href=\"http://stackoverflow.com\">Stack</a>"));

    Your layout should also set android:linksClickable="true" on the CheckedTextView
