have to make non-url text in textview to be a link to a website (android)

I have text like this: "by proceeding you agree to our terms of service"

I want "terms of service" to be underlined and link to a certain website. Is there a way to do this in xml? I know about the autolink property, but seems to only work if you want to link a text that actually is the url it self. I want to turn any piece of text into a web hyperlink.

if not possible to do it through xml, what's quickest (yet still correct) way to do it through code?

Thanks

Firstly use two textviews and align it side by side. In place of link you can place any web address and apply this snippet on your textview

textView.setClickable(true);
textView.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
String text = "<a href='http://www.google.com'> Google </a>";
textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(text));
