How to make a new line or tab in XML (eclipse/android)?

Question

So, in my strings.xml I have a very long text which I want to format somehow. How can I put a tab before the first sentence of the text? Also, what is the code for new line? Tha

Answer 1

You can use \n for new line and \t for tabs. Also, extra spaces/tabs are just copied the way you write them in Strings.xml so just give a couple of spaces where ever you want them.

A better way to reach this would probably be using padding/margin in your view xml and splitting up your long text in different strings in your string.xml
