Question

I’ve been searching for a while now onine and just havn’t been able to nail the correct answer for this one. Long story short, I’m retreiving a webpage from onine to use as my inbox. I desperately need to skip lines in between each “message” so I put
tags in my php. It works perfectly in a web broweser but, in my Android application, I can actually see the
tags as plain text. Just trying to read them as “next/new lines”. Any ideas?

My method code:

public String getInbox(String where){

        BufferedReader in = null;
        String data = null;
        try{


            HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
            URI website = new URI("http://example.com/getInbox.php?where="+where);

            HttpPost post_request = new HttpPost();
            post_request.setURI(website);


            HttpGet request = new HttpGet();

            request.setURI(website);
            //executing actual request

                        //add your implementation here
            HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);

            in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(response.getEntity().getContent()));
            StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer("");
            String l = "";
            String nl = System.getProperty("line.separator");
            while ((l = in.readLine()) != null) {
                sb.append(l+nl);

            }
            in.close();
            data = sb.toString();


return data;
        }catch (Exception e){
            return "ERROR";

        }

        }

The output in a webpage:

eg test
eg test
eg lol
eg lol
eg testing

The output in android:

eg test<br />eg test<br />eg lol<br />eg lol<br />eg testing<br />eg

String lineSep = System.getProperty("line.separator");
String yourString= "test<br />eg test<br />eg lol<br />eg lol<br />eg testing<br />eg34 ernestggggg";


yourString= yourString.replaceAll("<br />", lineSep):
