How to add margin between lines in a SpannableString?

Question

line one and line two are different TextViews separated with a 8dp margin vertically

line three and four is one TextView that uses a SpannableString. Is there a way i can add the same spacing(8dp) with a Span?

I tried using a LineHeightSpan, the result is the image below.

append("line three")
appendLine()
appendLine()
setSpan(
    LineHeightSpan.Standard((8 * resources.displayMetrics.density).toInt()),
    0,
    length,
    Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE
)
append("line four")
