I had to hunt this down in a couple places, but I finally got this version of the code to work. File *strings.xml*: <string name="name1"><a href="http://www.google.com">link text1</a></string> <string name="name2"><a href="http://www.google.com">link text2</a></string> File *myactivity.xml*: <TextView android:id="@+id/textview1" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_marginTop="5dp" /> <TextView android:id="@+id/textview2" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_marginTop="5dp" /> File *myactivty.java* (in onCreate()): TextView tv1 = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textview1); TextView tv2 = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textview2); tv1.setText(Html.fromHtml(getResources().getString(R.string.name1))); tv2.setText(Html.fromHtml(getResources().getString(R.string.name2))); tv1.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance()); tv2.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance()); This will create two clickable hyperlinks with the text `link text1` and `link text2` which redirect the user to Google.
