Break text into new line android xml

In Android XML, you can break text into a new line using the following methods:

  1. Using a newline character (\n):

You can use the newline character (\n) to break the text into a new line. For example:

<TextView
    android:text="This is a long text that needs to be broken into multiple lines.\nIt will be displayed on multiple lines."
    />
  1. Using a line break (\r\n):

You can also use a line break (\r\n) to break the text into a new line. For example:

<TextView
    android:text="This is a long text that needs to be broken into multiple lines.\r\nIt will be displayed on multiple lines."
    />
  1. Using a SpannableString:

You can use a SpannableString to break the text into a new line. For example:

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/text_view"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

String text = "This is a long text that needs to be broken into multiple lines.";
SpannableString spannableString = new SpannableString(text);
spannableString.setSpan(new LineSpacingSpan(10), 0, text.length(), 0);
TextView textView = findViewById(R.id.text_view);
textView.setText(spannableString);
  1. Using a TextAppearance:

You can also use a TextAppearance to break the text into a new line. For example:

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/text_view"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Body1" />

<style name="TextAppearance.AppCompat.Body1">
    <item name="android:textSize">16sp</item>
    <item name="android:lineSpacingExtra">10dp</item>
</style>

In this example, the TextAppearance style is applied to the TextView and sets the line spacing to 10dp, which will break the text into a new line.

  1. Using a Layout:

You can also use a Layout to break the text into a new line. For example:

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/text_view"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="This is a long text that needs to be broken into multiple lines." />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/text_view2"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="It will be displayed on multiple lines." />

</LinearLayout>

In this example, the LinearLayout is used to break the text into multiple lines by using a vertical orientation and two separate TextViews.
