 <p>You have to use TransformFilter. Hope this help.</p> <pre><code> TextView textview = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.mytext); textview .setText("WordToBeLinked"); TransformFilter mentionFilter = new TransformFilter() { public final String transformUrl(final Matcher match, String url) { return new String("http://mydomain.com/something"); } }; Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("."); String scheme = ""; Linkify.addLinks(textview, pattern, scheme, null, mentionFilter); </code></pre> <p>Since there is no Pattern and scheme in your case, so they are just place holder.</p>
