Kotlin |Java

open class URLSpan : ClickableSpan, ParcelableSpan

kotlin.Any
↳	android.text.style.CharacterStyle
	↳	android.text.style.ClickableSpan
		↳	android.text.style.URLSpan

Implementation of the ClickableSpan that allows setting a url string. When selecting and clicking on the text to which the span is attached, the URLSpan will try to open the url, by launching an an Activity with an Intent.ACTION_VIEW intent.

For example, a URLSpan can be used like this:

SpannableString string = new SpannableString("Text with a url span");
  string.setSpan(new URLSpan("http://www.developer.android.com"), 12, 15, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
  

Text with URLSpan.

Summary

Public constructors
URLSpan(src: Parcel) Constructs a URLSpan from a parcel.
URLSpan(url: String!) Constructs a URLSpan from a url string.

Public methods
open Int	describeContents()
open Int	getSpanTypeId()
open String!	getURL() Get the url string for this span.
open Unit	onClick(widget: View)
open String	toString()
open Unit	writeToParcel(dest: Parcel, flags: Int) Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Inherited functions
From class CharacterStyle CharacterStyle! getUnderlying() Returns "this" for most CharacterStyles, but for CharacterStyles that were generated by wrap, returns the underlying CharacterStyle. CharacterStyle! wrap(cs: CharacterStyle!) A given CharacterStyle can only applied to a single region of a given Spanned. If you need to attach the same CharacterStyle to multiple regions, you can use this method to wrap it with a new object that will have the same effect but be a distinct object so that it can also be attached without conflict.
From class ClickableSpan Unit updateDrawState(ds: TextPaint) Makes the text underlined and in the link color.
