Here is source code of the Program demonstrate a Match Filter in Android. The program is successfully compiled and run on a Windows system using Eclipse Ide. The program output is also shown below.

To add additional conditions to Regular Expression pattern matches, implement acceptMatch method in a Match Filter. When a potential match is found, acceptMatch method is triggered, with the match start and end index (along with the full text being searched) passed in as parameters.
To simply when a match corresponding to a defined pattern is found in the corresponding sentence the acceptMatch method is triggered which specifies which word are to convert into a hyperlink.
