Try saving your string in strings.xml in following format.

<string name="welcome">
<![CDATA[ Welcome to <a href=\'http://www.google.com\'>Google</a>.]]>
</string>

Then assign the string to your TextView as following:

 Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW).setData(Uri.parse(getString(R.string.welcome)));
            PackageManager manager = getPackageManager();
            List<ResolveInfo> infos = manager.queryIntentActivities(intent, 0);

            if (infos.size() > 0) {
                //At least one application can handle your intent
                //Put this code in onCreate and only Linkify the TextView from here
                //instead of using android:autoLink="web" in xml
                Linkify.addLinks(txtScreeningQuestion, Linkify.ALL);
                // or tvTextView.setAutoLinkMask(Linkify.WEB_URL), 
            }
    txtScreeningQuestion.setText(Html.fromHtml(getString(R.string.welcome));
