I want text view as a clickable link


<TextView
    android:id="@+id/link"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:text="Forget password?"
    android:autoLink="all"
    android:linksClickable="true"
    android:textColor="@color/lgreen"
    android:textStyle="italic"
     />

Android is highlighting the links in the TextView, but they do not respond to clicks. Can someone tell me how can i do that as a clickable and move to another link. i tried more times by seeing examples. but i can't. Can some one explain me clearly how to change text view as a clickable link.

    below is a complete example
    Solution: android:autoLink="web"
    Sample Xml:

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/txtLostpassword"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:autoLink="email"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:padding="20px"
        android:text="@string/lostpassword"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall" />
    
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/txtLostpassword"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:autoLink="web"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:padding="20px"
        android:text="@string/defaultpassword"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall" />
    

    String in string.xml

    <string name="lostpassword">If you lost your password please contact <a href="mailto:support@cleverfinger.com.au?Subject=Lost%20Password" target="_top">support@cleverfinger.com.au</a></string>
