Please try below attribute in your textview in xml file:

        android:autoLink="all"
        android:linksClickable="false"
        android:textColorLink="#3393FF"

You can check URL using contains function.

textView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            String URL = textView.getText().toString();
            if (URL.contains("youtube") || URL.contains("youtu.be")) {
                // then redirect to youtube
            } else if (URL.contains("pdf")) {
                // then redirect to pdf app
            } else {
                // then redirect to web
            }
        }
    });

OR

you can use below Library and link : https://github.com/saket/Better-Link-Movement-Method

implementation 'me.saket:better-link-movement-method:2.2.0'

Try below code : 

BetterLinkMovementMethod
.linkify(Linkify.ALL, textView)
.setOnLinkClickListener((textView, url) -> {
     // Handle clicks.

    if (url.contains("youtube") || url.contains("youtu.be")) {
           // then redirect to youtube
    } else if (url.contains("pdf")) {
           // then redirect to pdf app
    } else {
           // then redirect to web
    }

     return true;
})
.setOnLinkLongClickListener((textView, url) -> {
    // Handle long-clicks.
    return true;
});

Why don't you use setMouvementMethod() instead ?

Try this in your TextView:

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/myTextView"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Text"/>

Then add this line in you Java class:

TextView myLink = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.myTextView);
myLink.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());

You Can Apply Listener on TextView and When Click is Detected use StartsWith Method in Android To Detect if url starts with you.(url of youtube ) if it matches do your youtube player stuff else perform redirection
