Have Android respecting line break in text

Question

I have a text to display as TextView in Android, the text consists of various lines like this:

Text1

Text2

Text3

But the problem is that when displayed it appears like this ignoring the line breaks:

Text1 Text2 Text3

I know what you are thinking, just add \r\n at the end of every line, but this isn't an option at the moment for me.

Is there a way to have Android respecting the line breaks in the text?

Thanks! Jose

That question has been answered with "\r\n". I specify that in my case that's not a valid solution. — Jose Gonzalez, Sep 23 '15 at 13:24
No, it's a long text in lots of different languages, different length's for every language + the text will probably change in time. My @strings are maintained by a third party. — Jose Gonzalez, Sep 23 '15 at 13:28
Line breaks "\n" should work fine May be use the single quotes instead of double quotes — nifCody, Sep 29 '15 at 01:00

You're going to need to use \r\n, sorry.

Notepad++ can find and replace linebreak charaters with \r\n. Not sure if You'd be able to do it programatically
