Add new line character in string

Question

How to make a new line after every text??

This's the code.

String body = txtName.getText().toString() + txtLatitude.getText().toString() + txtLongitude.getText().toString();
ii.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, body);

I tried to use only \n but it's giving me error. Please help me.

What's the error in it? `\n` works for new line text. – Oam May 17 '13 at 04:50 — Oam, May 17 '13 at 04:50

You can use html tag in your string like this.

String body = Html.fromHtml(txtName.getText().toString()+"<br />"
                    + txtLatitude.getText().toString()+"<br />"
                    + txtLongitude.getText().toString()+"<br />");

I take it you are using android java. Unsure, but in c++ you can use the endl function in std library. I think there is a similar function, system.getproperty("line.separator") or ("line.new") you could try it, It is something close to this. Also Since "\n" doesn't work, try single quotes '\n' it is a newline character so it might count as a single character in java. Other than that
can also work it is standard HTML.
