This package is part of the Android support library which is no longer maintained. The support library has been superseded by AndroidX which is part of Jetpack. We recommend using the AndroidX libraries in all new projects. You should also consider migrating existing projects to AndroidX. To find the AndroidX class that maps to this deprecated class, see the AndroidX support library class mappings.

addLinks

added in version 25.1.0

void addLinks (TextView text, 
                Pattern pattern, 
                String scheme, 
                Linkify.MatchFilter matchFilter, 
                Linkify.TransformFilter transformFilter)

Applies a regex to the text of a TextView turning the matches into links. If links are found then UrlSpans are applied to the link text match areas, and the movement method for the text is changed to LinkMovementMethod.

Parameters
text	TextView: TextView whose text is to be marked-up with links
pattern	Pattern: Regex pattern to be used for finding links
scheme	String: URL scheme string (eg http://) to be prepended to the links that do not start with this scheme.
matchFilter	Linkify.MatchFilter: The filter that is used to allow the client code additional control over which pattern matches are to be converted into links.
transformFilter	Linkify.TransformFilter

addLinks

added in version 25.1.0

void addLinks (TextView text, 
                Pattern pattern, 
                String defaultScheme, 
                String[] schemes, 
                Linkify.MatchFilter matchFilter, 
                Linkify.TransformFilter transformFilter)

Applies a regex to the text of a TextView turning the matches into links. If links are found then UrlSpans are applied to the link text match areas, and the movement method for the text is changed to LinkMovementMethod.

Parameters
text	TextView: TextView whose text is to be marked-up with links.
pattern	Pattern: Regex pattern to be used for finding links.
defaultScheme	String: The default scheme to be prepended to links if the link does not start with one of the schemes given.
schemes	String: Array of schemes (eg http://) to check if the link found contains a scheme. Passing a null or empty value means prepend defaultScheme to all links.
matchFilter	Linkify.MatchFilter: The filter that is used to allow the client code additional control over which pattern matches are to be converted into links.
transformFilter	Linkify.TransformFilter: Filter to allow the client code to update the link found.
