try this:
String str = "http://www.google.com <a
href=\"http://www.google.com\";>Google</a>";
Spanned html = Html.fromHtml(str);
Object[] spans = html.getSpans(0, html.length(), URLSpan.class);
tv.setAutoLinkMask(Linkify.ALL);
tv.setText(html);
SpannableString ss = (SpannableString) tv.getText();
for (int i = 0; i < spans.length; i++) {
URLSpan span = (URLSpan) spans[i];
int end = html.getSpanEnd(span);
int start = html.getSpanStart(span);
ss.setSpan(span, start, end, 0);
}
