Android: Prevent changing background color of text in TextView with ClickableSpan when touched

Question

I just want to make some text clickable in TextView, so I used ClickableSpan, but the background color of text is changed when I touched it.

This is my code:

ClickableSpan clickableSpan = new ClickableSpan() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View widget) {
        // do something
    }
};
SpannableString ss = new SpannableString("ClickableSpan Test");
ss.setSpan(clickableSpan, 0, 13, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);

How can I prevent changing background color on touch?

What color does it start with? What color does it show when clicked? — MiStr, Jan 23 '15 at 19:22

what about no color? "@android:color/transparent" does not work – Arda Kaplan Feb 01 '19 at 13:21
