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
Add '\t' for tab
<string name="tab">\u0009</string>
Add \t
for tab and \n
for new line.
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
\n
for new line and \t
for space like tab.Example :
for \n : android:text="Welcome back ! \nPlease login to your account agilanbu"
for \t : android:text="Welcome back ! \tPlease login to your account agilanbu"
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
Use \t to add tab and \n for new line, here is a simple example below.
<string name="list_with_tab_tag">\tbanana\torange\tblueberry\tmango</string>
<string name="sentence_with_new_line_tag">This is the first sentence\nThis is the second scentence\nThis is the third sentence</string>
add this line at the top of string.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
and use
'\n'
from where you want to break your line.
ex. <string> Hello world. \n its awesome. <string>
Output:
Hello world.
its awesome.
