Use  n for a line break and  t if you want to insert a tab   You can also use some XML tags for basic formatting   lt b gt  for bold text   lt i gt  for italics  and  lt u gt  for underlined text  More info   https   developer android com guide topics resources string-resource html

You can use  n for new line and  t for tabs  Also  extra spaces tabs are just copied the way you write them in Strings xml so just give a couple of spaces where ever you want them    A better way to reach this would probably be using padding margin in your view xml and splitting up your long text in different strings in your string xml
