do you edit your textview? if no then use textview delegate methods. Also have a look on this http://benscheirman.com/2009/07/detecting-a-tap-on-a-uitextview — fibnochi, Jan 02 '13 at 13:28

@fibnochi: i am fine with UITextview and links in UITextview. i want to import "on Click" event from HTML to ios. — Pradeep Kumar, Jan 02 '13 at 13:38
you have to right your own javascript functions to detect tap event. I have done similar thing but I used UIWebView. — fibnochi, Jan 02 '13 at 13:46
display your string into `WebView` its better and easy to use as par my answer — Nitin Gohel, Jan 02 '13 at 13:58

When you on click events, do you simply mean that you want to make things like the email address, phone # etc to be tappable, such that tapping a phone # would open the Phone app etc?

If so, have you tried simply setting the UITextView's properties in Interface Builder > Attributes Inspector.

See my image below:

suppose are you displaying String in UIWebView like bellow But First you must configure your webView outlet and connect proper Delegate then put below code in to ViewWillApear:-

[webview loadHTMLString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@
Have an enquiry for %@? Click hear and we will be in touch with you.* {margin:0;padding:0; font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;text-align:justify}", yourStringDiscription,YourHyperlinkWord] baseURL:nil];

in Above script this line:- :[NSString stringWithFormat:@"<html><body text=\"#000000\">%@ <br>Have an enquiry for %@? Click <a href=\"inapp://\">hear</a>

in first %@ is for String of contain and second %@ for your Hyparlink

Now

you can get click event of this webViewdelegate method

-(BOOL) webView:(UIWebView *)inWeb shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)inRequest navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)inType {
    if ( inType == UIWebViewNavigationTypeLinkClicked ) {

       //Got even here put breck point
       return NO;
    }

    return YES;

}

you can got click event in above delegate hope you undastood what i am saying and hope its help's you
