I have just started building android application. I have a php script outputting a URL. The URL simply displays and is not clickable. I want to make the URL clickable so that if person clicks on the link the device browser opens the link. The link is stored in MySQL database which is fetched through php. I am using JSON encode.
For example php Output: {"result":[{"rid":"3","rname":"List of newly recruited students","rinfo":"http://mydomain.com/out.php"}],"success":1}
In android app i can see http://mydomain.com/out.php but the link is not clickable.
Java code that outputs the above php output in app
