Line Break in XML formatting?

Question

when editing a String in XML I need to add line breaks. And I wanted to ask what is the RIGHT form when programming for android? Because
works but ECLIPS

Answer 1

Here is what I use when I don't have access to the source string, e.g. for downloaded HTML:

// replace newlines with 

public static String replaceNewlinesWithBreaks(String source) {
    return source != null ? source.replaceAll("(?:\n|\r\n)","
") : "";
}

For XML you should probably edit that to replace with
instead.

Example of its use in a function (additional calls removed for clarity):

// remove HTML tags but preserve supported HTML text styling (if there is any)
public static CharSequence getStyledTextFromHtml(String source) {
    return android.text.Html.fromHtml(replaceNewlinesWithBreaks(source));
}

...and a further example:

textView.setText(getStyledTextFromHtml(someString));
