Newline is not working in Xamarin.Android

Question

I have string label = 20. I have added label prefix as "Goal" .in between i added \n . Two lines are not coming instead one line only appearing.I need Expected Output.

Expected Output:

Goal                  
20

ActualOutput:

Goal20

I have tried below methods, its not working

  string label = Goal;
  string cReturns = System.Environment.NewLine + "\n" + "\r";
  string[] words = label.Split(cReturns.ToCharArray());
  label = words +20;

or

label = "Goal\n20";

CAN ANYONE SUGGEST ME CORRECT ANSWER

Thanks

public class MyCustomView : View{ protected override void OnDraw(Canvas canvas) { Paint p = new Paint(); p.TextSize = 50; string lab = "Target\n"; string val = lab + "20"; canvas.DrawText(val, 100, 100, p); base.OnDraw(canvas); } } — bhuvana, Nov 06 '17 at 12:37
I have added custom view in main class.If i add a normal textview in mainclass newline is added.If i add drawtext in customview its not working — bhuvana, Nov 06 '17 at 12:38
I have calculated as if \n comes,labels are splitted and height of the labels is increased — bhuvana, Dec 20 '17 at 07:23

20";

If i add drawtext in customview its not working

You could strip the \n and then offset the Y to get your text on the next line.

For Example :

string lab = "Goal";
canvas.DrawText(lab, 100, 100, p);
canvas.DrawText("20", 100, 150, p);

Effect.

using System.Environment.NewLine will help.

for example:

await MainPage.DisplayAlert("Connection Problem!", "Can't 
access backEnd at the moment Please try again later!" 
                + System.Environment.NewLine + ex.Message,
                "OK");
