Question

I have some TextViews for phone no.
These are not editable. So I have made them as TextView.
I want to perform click action on phone no, i.e. on clicking phone no i have to make a call.
How to implement that? Anyone any idea?

Answer 1

The best way to get that functionality is to set this parameter for your TextView in which you display the phone number:

android:autoLink="phone"

Alternatively (not sure if this is a good practice though. perhaps someone could help out here), you can set it to

android:autoLink="all"

The later will detect any email addresses, website URL’s, maps and convert them into relevant links on the fly.
