I wish to use some tabspace in a line where I call setText
if(id==R.id.radioButton1){ title.setText(numbertext.getText()+\" Grams\");
If "\t" doesn't work and \u0009 (Unicode for a tab) only shows 1 space:
In values/strings.xml add
\u0009\u0009\u0009\u0009
Then in your Java file add
textView.setText("text" + getString(R.string.tab) + "moretext");
