How to add a line break in an Android TextView?

I’m trying to express a number with a superscript and other text in three different lines but the line break doesn’t work for some reason.

TextView tvAnswer = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView_answer);
tvAnswer.setText(Html.fromHtml("16<sup>4</sup>" + "istext \nistextonanotherline"));

The ” \n” doesn’t cause a line break but it does without the “Html.fromHtml” which I need.

This also doesn’t work:

tvAnswer.setText(Html.fromHtml("16<sup>4</sup>" + "istext<br>istextonanotherline"));

since Android apparently doesn’t support the br HTML tag. Help?

Answer 1

One possible solution is

tvAnswer.setText(Html.fromHtml("16<sup>4</sup>" + "istext "));
    tvAnswer.append("\n");
