The accepted answer is correct, BUT it will mean that phone numbers, maps, email addresses, and regular links e.g. http://google.com without href tags will NO LONGER be clickable since you can't have autolink in the xml.

The only complete solution to have EVERYTHING clickable that I have found is the following:

Spanned text = Html.fromHtml(myString); URLSpan[] currentSpans = text.getSpans(0, text.length(), URLSpan.class); SpannableString buffer = new SpannableString(text); Linkify.addLinks(buffer, Linkify.ALL); for (URLSpan span : currentSpans) { int end = text.getSpanEnd(span); int start = text.getSpanStart(span); buffer.setSpan(span, start, end, 0); } textView.setText(buffer); textView.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance()); 

And the TextView should NOT have android:autolink. There's no need for android:linksClickable="true" either; it's true by default.
