ViewsHow do I open a browser on clicking a text link in TextView
I made an activity that has some text. I made a link clickable in TextView but and it is working fine (link is visible with underline).
But when I click the link it says Unfortunately app has stopped responding Here is my code.
The TextView code:
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/home"
android:text="@string/google" />
The Java code (in protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) ):
TextView txt= (TextView) findViewById(R.id.home); //txt is object of TextView
txt.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
The string.xml code:
<string name="google">
<a href="www.google.com">Home page</a>
</string>
This is what my app shows,
Now if I click Home Page link the error message saying Unfortunately app has stopped not responding appears What should I do?
Please help!

Thanks to those who helped me by their answers
This is what the complete answer looks like.
In the TextView of activityname.xml write android:autoLink="web"
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/home"
android:autoLink="web
android:text="@string/google" />
In the java file write create onClickListener()
TextView txt= (TextView) findViewById(R.id.home); //txt is object of TextView
txt.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
txt.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
browserIntent.setData(Uri.parse("http://www.google.com"));
startActivity(browserIntent);
}
});
No changes in the string.xml file

text_view.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
String url = textView.getText().toString();
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.setData(Uri.parse(url));
startActivity(i);
});
