How to make call to number from text in textView?

Question

I need to make somethink like this:

How can I select phone number with a blue color, and make on click listener on it? I don't want to create other textView for it. I tried:

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
    Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
    callIntent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:+" + tv.getText().toString().trim()));
    startActivity(callIntent);

}

Answer 1

I haven't used it, but you can set a link mask for a textview so that it automatically creates clickable links of phone numbers (or email addresses or urls...) see http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.html#setAutoLinkMask(int) This probably just opens the system's default action and you can't add a clicklistener, but maybe that's what you need...?

I think this is what you're looking for.
