How to open all links in chrome custom tabs

Question

I'm trying to make an activity which has a few TextViews which in turn,contain hyperlinks. I did this using this tutorial: http://www.android-examples.com/add-hyperlink-in-android-application-through-textview/

I want to make these links open up in chrome custom tabs when they are clicked(similar to Gmail). But I cant find any tutorial that shows how to do so.

Answer 1

It is possible to do it by extending the URLSpan and overriding the onClick method.Here's a gist that contains a sample implementation: https://gist.github.com/andreban/b809ba40454091845dd5
