I want to convert the selected text from Edit Text to Hyperlink. Basically i know how to convert text in hyperlink, but not able to do in Edit Text.

I have tried Linkify, but not working.

Any Help would be appreciated..

Answer 1

Here is the way how i solved the problem.

text = EditText

            int start = text.getSelectionStart();

            int end = text.getSelectionEnd();

            SpannableStringBuilder spb = new SpannableStringBuilder(text
                    .getText().toString());

            String hyper = text.getText().toString().substring(start, end);

            text.setText(hyper);

            text.setAutoLinkMask(Linkify.ALL); // Linkify.WEB_URLS

            text.setText(spb);
