Write following code.

youButton=(Button)findViewById(R.id.btn1);
myEditText=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.edittext1);
textView=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textview3);

youButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        String result = myEditText.getText().toString()+"\n"+textView.getText().toString();
        textView.setText(result);
    }
});

Advice

You should not initialize any view every time onClick performed. Its better to initialize before that as you have done for Button.

Try the following:

textView.setText(result.replace(" ", "\n"));

This would be for when multiple names are entered at once in the EditText. ChntanRathod's answer seems to appear to answer your question best (so far). – TronicZomB Jun 18 '13 at 12:54
@user1679432 You're welcome, I had misread the first time thus the comment for clarification. – TronicZomB Jun 18 '13 at 13:09

use StringBulider and append everytime when click listener called

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

 @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            myEditText=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.edittext1);
            textView=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textview3);
            String result = myEditText.getText().toString();
            sb.append(result+"\n");
            textView.setText(sb.toString());

        }

Try the following code.

String s = "";

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    Button b = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
    b.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        public void onClick(View arg0) {
            EditText e = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
            TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);              
            s = e.getText().toString() + "\n" + s;
            tv.setText(s);
            e.setText("");
        }
    });
}
