I have a TextView in an AppWidget where the text is set by a user. This text can include one or more URL links (i.e http:/ www.google.com). I want these URLs to be clickable and open the browser and go to whatever link was clicked. I have accomlished this partially.The code I have at this point is as follows:
Intent clickIntent = new Intent(); clickIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); clickIntent.setData(Uri.parse(textViewContent.toString())); clickIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); PendingIntent pendingIntentClick = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, clickIntent, Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.widget_textview, pendingIntentClick); This code will open the browser and go to the correct URL if the content of the TextView contains only one link and no other links or text of any kind. This is because setData uses everything in the TextView as the URI. So, how would I go about having a method to tell if what was clicked is a link and which link it is if there are multiple links etc? Basically, I need the browser to open to the correct link that is clicked. Also, I have tried to go about this a different way. I tried using the XML property, android:autoLink="web", on the TextView of the AppWidget. This of course makes the URLs look like links and makes them clickable but an error occurs when a link is clicked. This error is as follows: "android.util.AndroidRuntimeException: Calling startActivity() from outside of an Activity context requires the FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK flag. Is this really what you want?" Using android:autoLink="web", the browser activity tries to start without any additional code (meaning the browser activity tries to start without the clickIntent code above). So, I do not know where I would add a FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK in this case. Is there something I can do in the manifest.xml or another XML file? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
