Question

The following ignore new lines when I display them

private void post() {
        String subject = "";
        String message = "";
        subject = etSubject.getText().toString();
        message = etMessage.getText().toString();

edit: My edittext is already set to multiline however when I write multilined text in it it’s returned as a single line with the cover above

edit2: i am getting the text from an editText and displaying it on a textview

Answer 1

Solved it by using replaceAll("\\n", "<br />")

message = etMessage.getText().toString().replaceAll("\\n", "<br />")
