Dependencies
Display multiple links in a single string
This snippet embeds multiple clickable links into a single string of text:
Key points about the code
- Uses the
buildAnnotatedString
function to create an annotated string of text. - Uses the
pushStringAnnotation()
method to begin annotating the upcoming text with any necessary information, such as a URL string. - Adds text using
append()
, and then uses thepop()
method to halt the text annotation. - To add more links, repeat the previous two steps by surrounding each link
with the
pushStringAnnotation()
andpop()
methods. This annotates the text handled by theonClick
event. - Creates a
ClickableText
component and uses theonClick
parameter to manage user taps. Verify if there is a URL annotation linked to the text where you clicked. Then you can perform the click actions.
