Question

i’ve got a database with a field in var_char(2000).
in this field there’s text with some new line, like a normal text written:

hello
i am davide
bye

i put this text in a textview but i see the text like a unique line (hello i am davide bye), without newlines.
in iphone it is all normal and i’ve done nothing particular… but here no.
how can i?
i’ve tried with replace \n or replace \r\n o other things but without success.
Also with Html.fromHtml()

---

the singleLine(false) is deprecated, and it doesn’t work.
also text doesn’t work. it see the newline as a space

Answer 1

Try setting android:singleLine="false" to your textView.

Edit:
If this does not work check whether the string has a new line character using below code

char[] chararray= mString.toCharArray();

for(char temp:chararry){
   int value = temp;
   System.out.println(value);
}

Decimal value of Newline is either 10 or 13. While space character is 32.

Edit2 : I think TextView does not go to next line for \r which is 13.
So do

 mString = mString.replaceAll("\r","\n");
