Question

How can I add a link to a dialog message?

I tried the following code, but the link doesn’t do anything on onclick:

builder.setMessage(Html.fromHtml(
      "Click on the  " +
      "<a href=\"http:\\www.google.com\">link</a> " +
       "to download."));

It didn’t work for //www.google.com either.

Standard implementation of dialog doesn’t allow you to do such fancy stuff. You need to create a custom dialog by setting a custom layout content to it. For example:

Dialog dialog = new Dialog(context);
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.layout_dialog);
