Does EditText(or other View)supported LinkButton in its text

I am writing a Dictionary app with 1 AutoCompleteText for typing word and 1 EditText to display the meaning of queried words:
1.The first problem is i do not know how to pick one token in the text of EditText when i move the mouse pointer to that token.
2.The second problem is when i click on that token i want some action 'll be happened,what should i do now?

Hello tsdt,

remember that your application will run on a Mobile Phone :!:

so you do not really have a MousePointer and hovering sth in an EditText with my (not that small) fingers is probably not that easy :roll:

I'm not 100% sure, but if you set an OnClickListener to the EditText, its onClick method should get called every time you 'hit' somewhere in your EditBox. The Caret will jump to the position you clicked.

Probably code like this helps:

Using java Syntax Highlighting

        keyWordEditText.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
                @Override
                public void onClick(View clickedView) {
                        int selStart = ((EditText)clickedView).getSelectionStart();
                        // Determine the word "under" selStart...
                }
        });
