How to make a new line or tab in string XML (eclipse/android) ?

To make a new line or tab in string XML, add \t for tab and \n for new line.

• \n for a line break
• \t to insert a tab.

Also can use some other XML tags like: <b> for bold text, <i> for italics, and <u> for underlined text

     Use \n for new line and \t to add tab.

Simple example:

<string name="list_with_tab_tag">\tbanana\torange\tblueberry\tmango</string>
<string name="sentence_with_new_line_tag">This is the first sentence\nThis is the second scentence\nThis is the third sentence</string>

Use \t to add tab and \n for new line, here is a simple example below. You can use \n for new line and \t for tabs. Also, extra spaces/tabs are just copied the way you write them in Strings.xml so just give a couple of spaces where ever you want them

• Include this line in your layout xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
• Now , use \n for new line and \t for space like tab.
• Example :

  for \n : android:text="Welcome back ! \nPlease login to your account agilanbu"

  for \t : android:text="Welcome back ! \tPlease login to your account agilanbu"

<TextView
   android:id="@+id/txtTitlevalue"
   android:text="Line1: \n-Line2\n-Line3"
   android:layout_width="54dip"
   android:layout_height="fill_parent"
   android:textSize="11px" />
