[mono-android] How to use abstract ClickableSpan

[Stuart Lodge]

I'm trying to write some code using ClickableSpan at present - a bit like
the answer from
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8208702/androidautolink-in-listview
(reproduced
below)

However, ClickableSpan seems to be abstract inside MonoDroid - so I can't
new it.

Anyone got ideas of a way around this? Should I just inherit and make my
own span type? Should I be using something else like UrlSpan?

All ideas welcome

Stuart

String styledText = getResources().getString(R.string.Email);
    SpannableString span = new SpannableString(styledText);

    span.setSpan(new StyleSpan(Typeface.ITALIC),
            styledText.indexOf("Terms"), styledText.length(), 0);
    span.setSpan(new UnderlineSpan(), styledText.indexOf("Terms"),
            styledText.length(), 0);

    ClickableSpan clickSpan = new ClickableSpan() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View widget) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            showInfoDialog();
        }
    };
    span.setSpan(clickSpan, styledText.indexOf("Terms"),
            styledText.length(), 0);
    span.setSpan(
            new ForegroundColorSpan(getResources().getColor(R.color.link_)),
            styledText.indexOf("Terms"), styledText.length(), 0);
    txt_accept.setText(span, BufferType.SPANNABLE);
