Write a paragraph using textview on Android

Question

I want to write a paragraph as part of my mobile application. How can I do it?

Answer 1

Use \ n to break a line.

Example:

TextView t = findViewById(R.id.text); t.setText("This is the first line\nThis is the second line\nThird line..."); 

Answer 2

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <string name="text_with_paragraphs"> Can this contain a lot of text? Can it contain \na newline? Yes, it can. Adding a 2nd line like this should work. It should not cause parsing errors. </string> <resources> 

So you can make a link to it as:

 android:text="@string/text_with_paragraphs"
