How To Escape String Like Below.
I Use Below Code But Say

“The method unescape(String) is undefined for the type printpreview”

String s = unescape(stringFromDatabase)

I saw this method from this link:

Answer 1

you should define it yourself ;-).

a suggestion from the thread you were refering to was

private String unescape(String description) {
   return description.replaceAll("\\\\n", "\\\n");

}

But off course it depends what you are trying to do whether this will work.
