This occur when user clicks URL in text. I have a listfragment with a layout containing TextView. I am testing using Android device emulator in Android Studio.

This happens when user clicks URL in text with urls in app. What its about? How could I fix this error if I need Urls be clickable in text?

My android device has a browser. Here is the part where I do TextView html settings:

TextView tvhtml = (TextView) view;
final String html="<a href="http://www.google.com">Go to Google</a>";
tvhtml.setLinksClickable(true);
tvhtml.setMovementMethod (LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
tvhtml.setText(Html.fromHtml(html));

Here is some snippet code from my app:

    @Override
    public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
            getListView().setDivider(null);
            getListView().setSelector(R.drawable.selector_items);
            Bundle args = new Bundle();
            args.putString(DataProvider.COL_EMAIL, mListener.getProfileEmail());
            getLoaderManager().initLoader(0, args, this);
            this.postMesagesCAB();
    }
    .....

    ....

    adapter.setViewBinder(new SimpleCursorAdapter.ViewBinder() {
            @Override
            public boolean setViewValue(View view, Cursor cursor, int columnIndex) {
                switch (view.getId()) {
                    case R.id.text1:
                     TextView tvhtml = (TextView) view;
                     final String html="<a href="http://www.google.com">Go to Google</a>";
                     tvhtml.setLinksClickable(true);
                     tvhtml.setMovementMethod ( LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
                     tvhtml.setText(Html.fromHtml(html));

    ...}

    private void postMesagesCAB() {
            final ListView listView = getListView();
            listView.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE_MODAL);

            listView.setOnItemLongClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemLongClickListener() {

            @Override
            public boolean onItemLongClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
                    ((ListView) parent).setItemChecked(position,
                            ((ListView) parent).isItemChecked(position));
                    //view.setBackgroundColor(Color.CYAN);
                return false;
                }
            });
            listView.setMultiChoiceModeListener(new AbsListView.MultiChoiceModeListener() {
                //private int nr = 0;

                @Override
                public void onItemCheckedStateChanged(ActionMode mode, int position,
                                                      long id, boolean checked) {
                    // Here you can do something when items are selected/de-selected,
                    // such as update the title in the CAB
                    Cursor c = ((SimpleCursorAdapter)listView.getAdapter()).getCursor();
                    c.moveToPosition(position);
                    String item = c.getString(0);

                    if (checked) {
                        nr++;
                    } else {
                        nr--;
                    }
                    int fsize=checkedItemPositions.size();
                    mode.setTitle(String.format("%d ite%s selecionado%s", fsize, fsize==1 ? "m" : "ns", fsize==1 ? "" : "s"));
                    mode.invalidate();

This occur when user clicks URL in text

In this case, the URL is malformed:

android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=href (has extras) }

The URL is href. That is not a valid URL.

Here is the part where I do TextView html settings:

That will not compile, as it is not valid Java. You cannot have a quoted string that contains quotes. You need to escape the inner quotes:

final String html="<a href=\"http://www.google.com\">Go to Google</a>";

How could I fix this error if I need Urls be clickable in text?

If you are the one supplying the HTML, make sure that it is valid.

Thank you, Mr Commons Ware. I fix the url and works well. But, Is possible catch the exception when clicking in a invalid url? For now, my app crash when I click in a invalid url. – Luiz Alves Jun 18 '15 at 19:12
@LuizAlves: Not with the current code that you have. The thing that is calling `startActivity()` and crashing is the `URLSpan`, which is being created for you via `Html.fromHtml()`. You would need to find the occurrences of `URLSpan` and replace them with your own clone that handles the exception. – CommonsWare Jun 18 '15 at 19:18
Thank you for your help. It will possible you point me an alternative link with solution to override URLSpan? I found in stack overflow this code: private void fixTextView(TextView textView) { final SpannableString current = new SpannableString(textView.getText()); final URLSpan[] spans = current.getSpans(0, current.length(), URLSpan.class); int start, end; for (URLSpan span : spans) { start = current.getSpanStart(span); end = current.getSpanEnd(span); current.removeSpan(span); current.setSpan(new DefensiveURLSpan(span.getURL()), start, end, 0); } } – Luiz Alves Jun 18 '15 at 19:45
and private static class DefensiveURLSpan extends URLSpan { public DefensiveURLSpan(String url) { super(url); } @Override public void onClick(View widget) { try { android.util.Log.d(getClass().getSimpleName(), "Got here!"); super.onClick(widget); } catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) { // do something useful here // android.text.SpannedString cannot be cast to android.text.SpannableString } } } – Luiz Alves Jun 18 '15 at 19:45
I changed my code to : tvhtml.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance()); Spanned htmlSpan = Html.fromHtml(html, p, null); fixTextView(tvhtml); tvhtml.setText(htmlSpan); but the crash still occur. – Luiz Alves Jun 18 '15 at 19:46
Yes, I did. It was a problem with url. – Luiz Alves Jul 10 '15 at 11:40
