# URLSpan

`public class URLSpan`
`` `` `extends ClickableSpan` `implements ParcelableSpan`

java.lang.Object
↳ | android.text.style.CharacterStyle
| ↳ | android.text.style.ClickableSpan
|  | ↳ | android.text.style.URLSpan

Implementation of the `ClickableSpan` that allows setting a url string. When selecting and clicking on the text to which the span is attached, the `URLSpan` will try to open the url, by launching an an Activity with an `Intent#ACTION_VIEW` intent.

For example, a `URLSpan` can be used like this:

     SpannableString string = new SpannableString("Text with a url span");
     string.setSpan(new URLSpan("http://www.developer.android.com"), 12, 15, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);

Text with `URLSpan`.

## Summary

### Inherited constants
From interface `android.os.Parcelable`
`int` | `CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR` Descriptor bit used with `describeContents()`: indicates that the Parcelable object's flattened representation includes a file descriptor.
`int` | `PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE` Flag for use with `writeToParcel(Parcel, int)`: the object being written is a return value, that is the result of a function such as "`Parcelable someFunction()`", "`void someFunction(out Parcelable)`", or "`void someFunction(inout Parcelable)`".

### Public constructors
`URLSpan(String url)` Constructs a `URLSpan` from a url string.
`URLSpan(Parcel src)` Constructs a `URLSpan` from a parcel.

### Public methods
`int` | `describeContents()` Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation.
`int` | `getSpanTypeId()` Return a special type identifier for this span class.
`String` | `getURL()` Get the url string for this span.
`void` | `onClick(View widget)` Performs the click action associated with this span.
`void` | `writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags)` Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

### Inherited methods
From class `android.text.style.ClickableSpan`
`abstract void` | `onClick(View widget)` Performs the click action associated with this span.
`void` | `updateDrawState(TextPaint ds)` Makes the text underlined and in the link color.
From class `android.text.style.CharacterStyle`
`CharacterStyle` | `getUnderlying()` Returns "this" for most CharacterStyles, but for CharacterStyles that were generated by `wrap(CharacterStyle)`, returns the underlying CharacterStyle.
`abstract void` | `updateDrawState(TextPaint tp)`
`static CharacterStyle` | `wrap(CharacterStyle cs)` A given CharacterStyle can only applied to a single region of a given Spanned.
From class `java.lang.Object`
`Object` | `clone()` Creates and returns a copy of this object.
`boolean` | `equals(Object obj)` Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
`void` | `finalize()` Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.
`final Class<?>` | `getClass()` Returns the runtime class of this `Object`.
`int` | `hashCode()` Returns a hash code value for the object.
`final void` | `notify()` Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.
`final void` | `notifyAll()` Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.
`String` | `toString()` Returns a string representation of the object.
`final void` | `wait(long timeout, int nanos)` Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the `notify()` method or the `notifyAll()` method for this object, or some other thread interrupts the current thread, or a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void` | `wait(long timeout)` Causes the current thread to wait until either another thread invokes the `notify()` method or the `notifyAll()` method for this object, or a specified amount of time has elapsed.
`final void` | `wait()` Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the `notify()` method or the `notifyAll()` method for this object.
From interface `android.text.ParcelableSpan`
`abstract int` | `getSpanTypeId()` Return a special type identifier for this span class.
From interface `android.os.Parcelable`
`abstract int` | `describeContents()` Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation.
`abstract void` | `writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags)` Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

## Public constructors

### URLSpan

    public URLSpan (String url)

Constructs a `URLSpan` from a url string.

Parameters
`url` | `String`: the url string

### URLSpan

    public URLSpan (Parcel src)

Constructs a `URLSpan` from a parcel.

Parameters
`src` | `Parcel`: This value cannot be `null`.

## Public methods

### describeContents

    public int describeContents ()

Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation. For example, if the object will include a file descriptor in the output of `writeToParcel(android.os.Parcel, int)`, the return value of this method must include the `CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR` bit.

Returns
`int` | a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshaled by this Parcelable object instance. Value is either `0` or `CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR`

### getSpanTypeId

    public int getSpanTypeId ()

Return a special type identifier for this span class.

Returns
`int` |

### getURL

    public String getURL ()

Get the url string for this span.

Returns
`String` | the url string.

### onClick

    public void onClick (View widget)

Performs the click action associated with this span.

Parameters
`widget` | `View`: This value cannot be `null`.

### writeToParcel

    public void writeToParcel (Parcel dest,
                    int flags)

Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Parameters
`dest` | `Parcel`: This value cannot be `null`.
`flags` | `int`: Additional flags about how the object should be written. May be 0 or `Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE`. Value is either `0` or a combination of `Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE`, and android.os.Parcelable.PARCELABLE_ELIDE_DUPLICATES
