Instead of a text view, why don't you use a button?
http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/widget/Button.html
If a user clicks on the button, you could forward her to the browser
using
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
Uri u = Uri.parse("http://www.openintents.org";);
i.setData(u);
startActivity(i);
I found this information here ;-)
