URLSpan

Kotlin |Java

open class URLSpan : ClickableSpan, ParcelableSpan

kotlin.Any
↳	android.text.style.CharacterStyle
	↳	android.text.style.ClickableSpan
		↳	android.text.style.URLSpan

Implementation of the ClickableSpan that allows setting a url string. When selecting and clicking on the text to which the span is attached, the URLSpan will try to open the url, by launching an an Activity with an Intent.ACTION_VIEW intent.

For example, a URLSpan can be used like this:

SpannableString string = new SpannableString("Text with a url span");
  string.setSpan(new URLSpan("http://www.developer.android.com"), 12, 15, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);

Text with URLSpan.

Inherited functions

From class CharacterStyle

CharacterStyle!

getUnderlying()

Returns "this" for most CharacterStyles, but for CharacterStyles that were generated by wrap, returns the underlying CharacterStyle.

CharacterStyle!

wrap(cs: CharacterStyle!)

A given CharacterStyle can only applied to a single region of a given Spanned. If you need to attach the same CharacterStyle to multiple regions, you can use this method to wrap it with a new object that will have the same effect but be a distinct object so that it can also be attached without conflict.

From class ClickableSpan

Unit

updateDrawState(ds: TextPaint)

Makes the text underlined and in the link color.

open fun getSpanTypeId(): Int

Return a special type identifier for this span class.

getURL

Added in API level 1

open fun getURL(): String!

Get the url string for this span.

Return
`String!`	the url string.

onClick

Added in API level 1

open fun onClick(widget: View): Unit

Performs the click action associated with this span.

Parameters
`widget`	View: This value cannot be `null`.

toString

Added in API level 1

open fun toString(): String

Returns a string representation of the object.

Return
`String`	a string representation of the object.

writeToParcel

Added in API level 3

open fun writeToParcel(
    dest: Parcel, 
    flags: Int
): Unit

Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Parameters
`dest`	Parcel: This value cannot be `null`.
