OnClickListener for a letter in TextView

Question

Is it possible to have OnClickListener for specific letter in textView? For example, in my textView I have "today is sunny day". So if I click for example on letter o, I want some action. I know I can do that by putting each letter on separate textview, but in my database I have longer strings.

Answer 1

This could work for your purpose.

SpannableString span = new SpannableString("your string");
ClickableSpan clickSpan = new ClickableSpan() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View yourTextView) {
        //what you want to do on click of it
    }
};
span.setSpan(clickSpan, 5(random int start), 8(random int end), Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);

TextView yourTextView= (TextView) findViewById(R.id.idOfYourTextView);
yourTextView.setText(span);
yourTextView.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
