Break text into new line android xml
In Android XML, you can break text into a new line using the following methods:
- 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."
/>
- 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."
/>
- 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);
- 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.
- 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 TextView
s.
