Well, actually you can embed a callback link to a TextView. You just need special clickable span, which will call your methods when clicked.
Here's an excerpt from my HTMLDialog class: public void setHTML(String html) { html=html.replaceAll("(\r\n|\n)",""); Spanned spannedHTML=Html.fromHtml(html); SpannableString message=new SpannableString(spannedHTML.toString()); Object[] spans=spannedHTML.getSpans(0,spannedHTML.length (),Object.class); for (Object span: spans) { int start=spannedHTML.getSpanStart(span); int end=spannedHTML.getSpanEnd(span); int flags=spannedHTML.getSpanFlags(span); if (span instanceof URLSpan) { URLSpan urlSpan=(URLSpan)span; if (urlSpan.getURL().startsWith(CallbackSpan.PREFIX)) { span=new CallbackSpan(urlSpan.getURL()); } } message.setSpan(span,start,end,flags); } m_message.setText(message); } .... protected void onCallback(String data) { .... } private final class CallbackSpan extends ClickableSpan { public CallbackSpan(String url) { int start=(url.startsWith(PREFIX)?PREFIX.length():0); m_data=url.substring(start); } public void onClick(View view) { onCallback(m_data); } public static final String PREFIX="callback:"; private String m_data; } and then you can put links of form <a href='callback:mydata'>callback link</a> anywhere in your document. Don't forget to setup your TextView: m_message.setLinksClickable(true); m_message.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance()); Dmitry On 4 сен, 01:04, Ken H <hunt1...@gmail.com> wrote: > Is it possible to use a hyperlink in android to do something other > than open a web page?
