This does not seem to be working with below TextView and string

<TextView android:id="@+id/text" style="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Small" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/text" />

<string name="text">Test https://google.com</string>

textView.getText() instanceof Spannable returns false

I have tried setting android:autoLink="all" without any luck

That is the best way I found to be working
Thank you
