Write a paragraph using textview on Android

Question

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

Answer 1

Use \n to break 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 \n a 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 reference to it like:

android:text="@string/text_with_paragraphs"
