Highlight textview so as to know that it is clickable

I have a Clickable textview in between of multiple informative textviews(which are non - interactable).

Is there any android property or UI guideline to display clickable textview. So that user will get it immediately after seeing the textview that its clickable. Any other suggestions are welcome.

I tried giving blue color to the textView as in webpage hyperlinks, it looks bad as my background is also bluish.

You Can use SpannAbleString for This if you want to do it programatically and If you want to do it Using UI then Create a Selector for Text for SpanAble String Sample Snippet is Following 

SpannableString spanScan3;
    spanScan3=new SpannableString("or register manually");

        ClickableSpan myActivityLauncher = new ClickableSpan() {
             public void onClick(View view) {
               Intent intent=new Intent (getApplicationContext(),ManualRegistration.class);
               startActivity(intent);
             }
           };

spanScan3.setSpan(myActivityLauncher, 12, 20, 0);
spanScan3.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(getResources().getColor(R.color.light_green)), 12, 20, 0);
        spanScan3.setSpan(new UnderlineSpan(), 12, 20, 0);
Scan_text_3.setText(spanScan3,BufferType.SPANNABLE);

and if you want o give color Using UI here is Sample make color folder in res Directory and in Color foldr make an xml name Like textColor.xml and in Xml 

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_pressed="true" 
        android:color="@color/whiteColor"></item>
    <item android:color="@color/bluetxt"></item> 
</selector>

do soe thing like this and give its refrence to your textView
