Something along the lines of:
onTouchEvent(... MotionEvent event) {
if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
int x = (int) event.getX();
int y = (int) event.getY();
x -= widget.getTotalPaddingLeft();
y -= widget.getTotalPaddingTop();
x += widget.getScrollX();
y += widget.getScrollY();
Layout layout = widget.getLayout();
int line = layout.getLineForVertical(y);
int off = layout.getOffsetForHorizontal(line, x);
...
or take a look at TextView/MovementMethod source. I faced a similar
task recently (EditText with clickable links) and ended up writing a
custom MovementMethod.
