I am using Linkify.WEB_URLS to linkify URLs in text view, but it looks like there's a bug with the regex.

If I am doing this

noteView.setText("go to the website blabla (https://www.test.com/)");
Linkify.addLinks(noteView, Linkify.WEB_URLS);

It linkifies the closing ) too

Here's how it looks like: https://i.sstatic.net/XmOuT.png

Is there a way to fix that other than rewriting the regex completely and using the fixed one in my code? Or am I doing something wrong?

The easiest way to get the closing parenthesis out of your link would be to put spaces around it, like this:

noteView.setText("go to the website blabla( http://www.test.com/ )");

You could also make the link look however you like if you wrap it in an anchor tag and then call Html.fromHTML on it, as shown in the solution here: How can I make links in fromHTML clickable? (Android)
