Question

I don’t know why it doens’t work. My TextView already set lines=6. String is set in code, like this :

address.setText((String) bundle.get("address"));

Above code still display \n as String not new line. bundle.get("address") is retrieved from .dat which is “line1\nline2” file store in asset But when i try this :

address.setText("line1\nline2");

this code works fine.

Any idea what gone wrong here? Thanks in advance

Answer 1

It’s not really an answer i’m looking for, but i managed to do a bit of code to replace \n inside String (read from text file) to \n in code. here’s my solution.

String seperator = "\n";  
String []tempText = a.split(seperator);

if (a.contains(seperator)){
        String b= "";
        for (String c : tempText)
            b +=c+"\n";
        b= b.substring(0, b.length()-2);
        address.setText(b);

    }else{
        address.setText((String) bundle.get("address"));

    }
