addLinks

Added in 1.1.0
java-static fun addLinks(text: Spannable, mask: Int): Boolean

Parameters
text: Spannable

Spannable whose text is to be marked-up with links

mask: Int

Mask to define which kinds of links will be searched.

Returns
Boolean

True if at least one link is found and applied.

addLinks

Added in 1.1.0
java-static fun addLinks(text: TextView, mask: Int): Boolean

Scans the text of the provided TextView and turns all occurrences of the link types indicated in the mask into clickable links. If matches are found the movement method for the TextView is set to LinkMovementMethod.

Parameters
text: TextView

TextView whose text is to be marked-up with links
