appsfeature / better-linkify

A simple android widget extending the textview to handle hyperlinks,emails and mobile tags. Feel free you use it as you wish

BetterLinkify

When android:autoLink="all" or Linkify.addLinks(textView, Linkify.ALL) is used to add links to web URLs, phone-numbers, map addresses or email addresses in a TextView, Android uses a class known as LinkMovementMethod that handles highlighting links when they're focused and dispatching an Intent when they're clicked.

Hyperlinks are not working with Linkify.addLinks(Linkify.ALL) method, which is now fixed in our library.

BetterLinkify improves over Hyperlinks, like shown below:

String yourText = "Clicks are reported across all platforms.
