I setText for an EditText this way:

editText.setText(Html.fromHtml("<p><a href='#'>Cadbury</a> is my fav chocolate</p>");

problem is, this line inserts two additional breakpoints on the EditText

when i get the value using Html.toHtml(editText.getText()) the result is:

"<p><a href='#'>Cadbury</a> is my fav chocolate</p>\n\n"

I dont want the trailing \n's, how do i remove them?

`Html.fromHtml(text.replace("\n", "")` doesn't work either... – Irshu Jan 16 '16 at 10:24
no, the problem is during SetText, android adds \n at the end, it creates an additional empty line in EditText – Irshu Jan 16 '16 at 10:33

I guess this [answer](http://stackoverflow.com/a/16745540/1735100) is actually what you need. – Denys Vasylenko Jan 16 '16 at 10:41
