Question

Hi I have a JSON like:

{
"name" : "avg",
"code" : {"value":" import android 
                    droid = android.Android() 
                    droid.makeToast('Hello, Android!')",
    "type":"PythonScript"
    } 
}

However, in value field(Python script for Android) I need a newline character between the 3 statements. Something like,

"value":"import android "  + "\n" + "droid = android.Android()" + "\n" + "droid.makeToast('Hello, Android!')"

Is it possible to do this? Thanks in advance 🙂

Its better to configure your server to send you HTML-encoded value string. Afterwards, it would be easier to re-construct and show in TextView, for e.g.

Your expected Json response:

{
    "name": "avg",
    "code": {
        "value": "import android<br />droid = android.Android()<br />droid.makeToast('Hello, Android!')",
        "type": "PythonScript"
    }
}

Once you read the value string:

String html_encoded_string = "import android<br />droid = android.Android()
<br />droid.makeToast('Hello, Android!')";

Then its easier to put it in TextView using html encoding:

yourTextView.setText(Html.fromHtml(html_encoded_string));
