how to create textview link without underscore in android
android, text-decorations, textcolor
Solution
you can try this. such as
String content = "your <a href='http://some.url'>html</a> content";
Here is a concise way to remove underlines from hyperlinks:
Spannable s = (Spannable) Html.fromHtml(content);
for (URLSpan u: s.getSpans(0, s.length(), URLSpan.class)) {
s.setSpan(new UnderlineSpan() {
public void updateDrawState(TextPaint tp) {
tp.setUnderlineText(false);
}
}, s.getSpanStart(u), s.getSpanEnd(u), 0);
}
tv.setText(s);
Problem
i came into this wired situation, my code is as follow ``` LinearLayout ll = new LinearLayout(this); TextView tv = new TextView(this); ll.addView(tv); tv.setText(Html.fromHtml("<a STYLE=\"text-decoration:none;\" href=\"" + StringEscapeUtils.escapeJava(elem.getChildText("newsLink")) + "\">" + StringEscapeUtils.escapeJava(elem.getChildText("Title")) + "</a>")); tv.setTextColor(Color.BLACK); ``` but the `style="text-decoration:none"` and `tv.setTextColor(color.black)`both not working, the link is still in blue with underscore, any hints on why they're not working? Thanks!
