Android textview not supporting line break

Question

I\'m creating a custom view programmatically that is displaying text that is parsed from an XML file. The text is long and contains the \"/n\" character for force line brea

Answer 1

Tried all the above, did some research of my own resulting in the following solution for rendering line feed escape chars:

string = string.replace("\\\n", System.getProperty("line.separator"));

1) using the replace method you need to filter escaped linefeeds (e.g. '\\n')

2) only then each instance of line feed '\n' escape chars gets rendered into the actual linefeed

For this example I used a Google Apps Scripting noSQL database (ScriptDb) with JSON formated data.
