Line break in resources strings doesn't work. Android












0














This question exist two times :



Line break n doesn't work, it show as string



String Resource new line /n not possible?



But neither n or hit enter in strings.xml gives me a line break in the textView that i set the text.
Does anyone knows why?



UPDATE:



My textView:



   <TextView
android:id="@+id/textView"
android:layout_width="952dp"
android:layout_height="172dp"
android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
android:ems="10"
android:inputType="textPersonName"
android:text="@string/give_username"
android:textSize="45sp"
android:textStyle="bold"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.003" />


How i set the text:



this.textView.setText(R.string.give_sex_age);


The string in resources:



<string name="give_sex_age">You are a new user.nPlease give your sex and your age</string>

    If your TextView's inputType is set to "text", this may be a reason why the line breaks are ignored. Having said that, some more information (e.g., a concrete example) would help giving a specific answer.
