Hi,
If you just append the straight URL, Wave will automatically linkify into an
anchor link with the URL as its anchor text. But it seems like you would
like to have customized anchor text, you would need annotation to do that.
The annotation name for anchor link is "link/manual", this is an example
how this is done -
TextView textView = yourBlip.getDocument();
String content = textView.getText();
String anchorText = "click here";
textView.insert(content.length(), anchorText);
int start = content.length();
int end = start + anchorText.length();
textView.setAnnotation(new Range(start, end), "link/manual", "
http://www.google.com";);
This snippet above would add an anchor text at the end of a blip and
annotate it with the URL http://www.google.com.
