Android Studio – How to apply custom font, under line some part of text and make it clickable?

I am struggling with this issue since 1 day. I want to apply custom font(in xml i am adding as fontFamily) to a textview. And also add apply underline for specific words in that textview with hyperlink and custom color.

I tried multiple ways like HTML text with Html.fromHTML(), Custom textview with Paint(), SpannableBuilder etc. Everytime either I can apply underline with clickable link and without custom font or I can apply only custom font but not underline(In some devices like Samsung, Motorola etc devices only).

    I use SpannableStringBuilder to make part of the string Bold, Underline, Clickable, etc.

    val spannable = SpannableStringBuilder("My String to Underline")
val span = StyleSpan(Typeface.UNDERLINE)
// 14 is the start position and 22 is the end position
spannable.setSpan(span, 14, 22,Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE)

    To create a link.

    val clickableSpan: ClickableSpan = object : ClickableSpan() {
                override fun onClick(widget: View) {
                    // Do Something
                }
            }
spannable.setSpan(clickableSpan, <Start Position>, <End Position>, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE)
           
// Change the color
spannable.setSpan(ForegroundColorSpan(ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.colorBlack)), <Start Position>, <End Position>, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE)
// Make it Bold
spannable.setSpan(StyleSpan(Typeface.BOLD), <Start Position>, <End Position>, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE)
