If you want different colors, put the color tags inside the url tags.

B4X:

[url][color=#ee00ee]my word[/color][/url]

Addendum. After some testing I found that the auto underline stops working when using "TextEngine.TagParser.UrlColor"
In fact, the underline is still there (it can be seen in letters such as gjqp) but is the background color (or transparent).
However the color inside the tags works fine.

Click to expand...

I have tried, and that works. But you are right the underline does not show anymore. However at least I can change the color of different url words by using tags now...

In case you didn't see it, I reported this as a Bug? @Erel provided a solution to this oddity. There is one more oddity I reported there.

With this code:

B4X:

BBCodeView1.Text = _
$"Lets add a [Color=#ff0000][u][b][url]label:[/url][/b][/u][/color] here & _
 and more[url][b][color=#ee00ee] here[/color][/b][/url]"$

I can make it:



Actually the underline is still there but invisible. When you click and hold the word, the underline will appear on your finger tip (without taking your finger out from the screen - like long tap and hold)

Until it is fixed, if you add a dummy (do nothing) [Span] line it works.

B4X:

    BBCodeView1.Text = _
$"Lets add a [Color=#ff0000][u][b][url]label:[/url][/b][/u][/color] here & _
 and more[url][b][color=#ee00ee] here[/color][/b][/url]
 [Span MinWidth=0%x] [/Span]
 "$

Incredibly, @Erel fixed it already in BCTextEngine V1.90. Look at Libraries folder, click on version cell. copy download .B4XLib to Internal Libraries folder, need Administrative privilege.

Mine is at C:\Program Files (x86)\Anywhere Software\B4J\Libraries
