\[code\]x = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.xLink);x.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() { @Override public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) { AlertDialog x = new AlertDialog.Builder(this.this).create(); x.setMessage(Html.fromHtml(getString(R.string.text))); x.setButton(AlertDialog.BUTTON_NEUTRAL, "Ok", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) { dialog.dismiss(); } }); x.show(); return false; } }); <TextView android:id="@+id/xLink" android:text="Click" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textColor="@color/blue1" androidaddingTop="30dip" androidaddingRight="10dip" android:layout_gravity="right" android:textSize="16dip" /> <string name = "text">at<br /><a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13731409/tel:18004455667">1-800-445-5667 lt;/a>.</string>\[/code\]so basically when you click the link a dialog shows up, with the number in which appears to be a link but when you click, it does nothing.
