Java android: appending a newline using TextView

Question

I just want to add a new line somehow to my linear layout:

layout = (LinearLayout) findViewById (R.id.layout);  

... //some other code where I\'ve appended          


        

Answer 1

First you need to make your TextView to be multiline. And then use simple "\n" string for linebreak.

final TextView nline = new TextView(this);
nline.setSingleLine(false);
nline.setText("first line\n"+"second line\n"+"third line");
