Answer 1

The "http:/" in your code of
"Linkify.addLinks(license, pattern, "http:/https://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask")"
twice doesn't help.

Just use:

Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("www.stackoverflow.com/questions/ask");
Linkify.addLinks(license, pattern, "http://");  

Where the text that you mention in pattern should be a part of the text you set in your TextView

Try this:

TextView tvWeblink = ((TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView));
        tvWeblink.setTypeface(LandingScreen.font);

        tvWeblink.setClickable(true);
        tvWeblink.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
        String text = "By pressing this It will open stack overflow page <a href=\"http://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask/\"> ask a question. </a>.";
        tvWeblink.setText(Html.fromHtml(text));
