Hyperlink

This article demonstrates adding, accessing, removing, and updating hyperlinks on shapes using Aspose.Slides for Android via Java.

Add a Hyperlink

Create a rectangle shape with a hyperlink pointing to an external website.

static void addHyperlink() {
    Presentation presentation = new Presentation();
    try {
        ISlide slide = presentation.getSlides().get_Item(0);

        IAutoShape shape = slide.getShapes().addAutoShape(ShapeType.Rectangle, 50, 50, 150, 50);
        shape.getTextFrame().setText("Aspose");

        IParagraph paragraph = shape.getTextFrame().getParagraphs().get_Item(0);
        IPortion textPortion = paragraph.getPortions().get_Item(0);
        textPortion.getPortionFormat().setHyperlinkClick(new Hyperlink("https://www.aspose.com"));
    } finally {
        presentation.dispose();
    }
}

Access a Hyperlink

Read hyperlink information from a shape’s text portion.

static void accessHyperlink() {
    Presentation presentation = new Presentation();
    try {
        ISlide slide = presentation.getSlides().get_Item(0);

        IAutoShape shape = slide.getShapes().addAutoShape(ShapeType.Rectangle, 50, 50, 150, 50);
        shape.getTextFrame().setText("Aspose");

        IParagraph paragraph = shape.getTextFrame().getParagraphs().get_Item(0);
        IPortion textPortion = paragraph.getPortions().get_Item(0);
        textPortion.getPortionFormat().setHyperlinkClick(new Hyperlink("https://www.aspose.com"));

        IHyperlink hyperlink = textPortion.getPortionFormat().getHyperlinkClick();
    } finally {
        presentation.dispose();
    }
}

Remove a Hyperlink

Clear the hyperlink from a shape’s text.

static void removeHyperlink() {
    Presentation presentation = new Presentation();
    try {
        ISlide slide = presentation.getSlides().get_Item(0);

        IAutoShape shape = slide.getShapes().addAutoShape(ShapeType.Rectangle, 50, 50, 150, 50);
        shape.getTextFrame().setText("Aspose");

        IParagraph paragraph = shape.getTextFrame().getParagraphs().get_Item(0);
        IPortion textPortion = paragraph.getPortions().get_Item(0);
        textPortion.getPortionFormat().setHyperlinkClick(new Hyperlink("https://www.aspose.com"));

        textPortion.getPortionFormat().setHyperlinkClick(null);
    } finally {
        presentation.dispose();
    }
}

Update a Hyperlink

Change the target of an existing hyperlink. Use HyperlinkManager to modify text that already contains a hyperlink, which mimics how PowerPoint updates hyperlinks safely.

static void updateHyperlink() {
    Presentation presentation = new Presentation();
    try {
        ISlide slide = presentation.getSlides().get_Item(0);

        IAutoShape shape = slide.getShapes().addAutoShape(ShapeType.Rectangle, 50, 50, 150, 50);
        shape.getTextFrame().setText("Aspose");

        IParagraph paragraph = shape.getTextFrame().getParagraphs().get_Item(0);
        IPortion textPortion = paragraph.getPortions().get_Item(0);
        textPortion.getPortionFormat().setHyperlinkClick(new Hyperlink("https://old.example.com"));

        // Changing a hyperlink inside existing text should be done via
        // HyperlinkManager rather than setting the property directly.
        // This mimics how PowerPoint safely updates hyperlinks.
        textPortion.getPortionFormat().getHyperlinkManager().setExternalHyperlinkClick("https://new.example.com");
    } finally {
        presentation.dispose();
    }
}
