I want to set HTML bookmarks within android TextView, so I can use it to allow readers to jump to specific parts of the page

Question

Here is what I have in my xml file:

android:autoLink="all|web|phone|map|email"

The other links to web pages, phone numbers, and email addresses work fine. When it comes to bookmarks, it is shown like a plain text and it has no functionality. I am new in android. Can anyone please give me any instruction on this?

why don't you use a WebView? – wutzebaer Aug 10 '16 at 14:39 — wutzebaer, Aug 10 '16 at 14:39

You cannot make TextView do stuff exactly as in html pages. You'll probably be able to achieve that by writing a custom logic in onClick for the TextView.

I think you should use a WebView. With WebView your hrefs will work in the html.

So I should find every href with # and do a search within the textView to find tag with that id. Is that what you mean? – Aug 10 '16 at 14:26
