I am using bbview named gdoclink. I pass the google webapp url to the following function:
B4X: 
Sub hitAPI (url As String)
    Dim job As HttpJob
    pb.Visible=True
    'logoProgress("start")
    job.Initialize("",Me)
    job.Download(url)
    Wait for (job) JobDone(job As HttpJob)
    'logoProgress("stop")
    If job.Success Then
        pb.Visible=False
      [B]  Log(job.GetString)
        gdoclink.Text=$"[url=${job.GetString}]Google Doc Report[/url]"$[/B]
        gdoclink.mBase.Visible=True
    Else
        Log(job.ErrorMessage)
    End If
    job.Release    
End Sub
I get null object reference error in the highlighted line.although I get the google doc url in logger:

Please help!
 
Solution
BBLabel doesn't expose this event. You need to use BBCodeView.

You should then handle the LinkClicked event and open it with:
B4X: 
Dim in As Intent
in.Initialize(in.ACTION_VIEW, url)
StartActivity(in)

I wasn't aware that BCTextEngine too had to be declared and initialized to use bblabel.
Now I get the google doc's link in the code
B4X: 
gdoclink.Text=$"[url=${job.GetString}]Google Doc Report[/url]"$[/B]
However it isn't 'clickable '. I expected the link to open the google doc. How to make the hyperlink open the google doc?
thanks

Thank you. Good to know about BBCode View.
In this particular app prototype, I already used the long click event of a label:
B4X: 
Private Sub lblGoogledoc_LongClick
    Dim ph As PhoneIntents       
    Dim i As Intent
    i = ph.OpenBrowser(gdocurl)
    StartActivity(i)
End Sub
