Android TextView's text coordinates on screen

Assuming that I have a TextView with text inside. Is it possible to get from that TextView some word's coordinates on the screen?

I had the same problem and I have resolved it. You have to use clickableSpan inside your TextView. See my post for more details, and tell me if you have any problem :)

Here goes

TextView tv;
int[] coordinates = new int[2];

tv.getLocationOnScreen(coordinates);

Log.v("Coordinates of my TextView are: ", "Left(X) = "+coordinates[0]+" and Top(Y) = "+coordinates[1]);

Hope it helped))) Actually, it works for any view - not only a TV.
