How to insert break line for long text?

Question

I want to set a long text with break line in string.xml
I couldn't insert break line for all

for example:

my text : It is a test 1.It is a test 2. It is a test 3. It is a test 4. . . . It is a test 500. It is a test 501.

I want to change to:
It is a test 1
It is a test 2
It is a test 3
It is a test 4
.
.
.
It is a test 500
It is a test 501

Use \n within your strings. That's the escape sequence for a newline character. — NigelK, Dec 20 '13 at 13:15

Insert "\n" where you want your text to jump on next line.

I.e.:

myText = myText.replace(". ", "\n")

in xml layout:

android:text="My very long long\nlong long long long\nlong long text"

my text is very long! – amirmamed Dec 20 '13 at 13:17
Is there a way for add "\n" after ". "? – amirmamed Dec 20 '13 at 14:17
As I showed... by code, with a replace or manually in xml (you can let a text editor - even the internal one - do that for you) – Phantômaxx Dec 20 '13 at 14:20

Simply use this

<string name="sample_string"><![CDATA[It is a test 1 <br />It is a test 2]]></string>
