TextLink

TextLink is not a view, it is an extension function over TextView which allows you to set links inside a TextView.

TextView.setTextLinkList(textLinkList: List<TextLink>, goToWebUrl: (String) -> Unit)

Usage

To set a link in a TextView with text you need to:

1. Define your string resource in your XML file with an annotation tag surrounding the link text.

   <string name="text_with_links">This is an example <annotation type="myLinkValue">with this link</annotation>.</string>

2. Create a list of TextLink which has the annotation type value and the link which should open.

   val textLinkList = listOf(TextLink("myLinkValue", "https://www.example.com"))

3. Set the string to the TextView, in code or layout.
4. Call setTextLinkList over the TextView with the list of TextLink and a function reference to navigate to a WebView.

   textView.setTextLinkList(it.textLinkList, navigator::goToWeb)
