Answer 1

Simply use Linkify to look for web sites automatically:

<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:autoLink="web"
    android:text="@string/description"
    android:textSize="12dp"
    android:textStyle="bold" />

Then take the html out of your text:

<string name="description">Hello please look into www.webtour.dk</string>
