when editing a String in XML I need to add line breaks. And I wanted to ask what is the RIGHT form when programming for android? Because <br> works but ECLIPSE marks the area as problematic. If I check out suggestions Eclipse tells me that I shall add a end tag </br> – IF I add that the line break dissapears…
So the one works but is marked as problematic, the other works not but Eclipse tells me its ok..
What form shall I use?
Use
\nfor a line break and\tif you want to insert a tab.You can also use some XML tags for basic formatting:
<b>for bold text,<i>for italics, and<u>for underlined text.Other formatting options are shown in this article on the Android Developers’ site:
