Question

I have an empty TextView set for my ListView. When there is no data, it shows the empty text, where I have description that they should go to Contacts application.

How can I linkify "Contacts" word so when tapped opens the Contacts application?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Try setting up a Linkify rule to the content:// URL of the contact in question. Though I am not certain what the pattern would be -- Linkify is designed for things that are obvious regexes. If all you want is for them to tap on the description as a whole, set up an OnClickListener for it.
