You want to it display like  -4   5  -5    6   -6    two spaces  you can add the following code to string xml       lt string name  spelatonertext3  gt   -4  amp  160  amp  160 5  amp  160 -5  amp  160  amp  160 6  amp  160  amp  160 -6   lt  string gt      160  is display one space

As per your question if you want add spaces more than one in string resources their are many option to add spaces between character or word    1 By default one space you can add directly in string resource file it working fine  but if give more than one space inside string resources file then it exclude that spaces      eg   -4  5  -5  6  -6     If you want add more extra spaces inside string resource file then uses - i  adding unicode after character like       lt string name  test  gt -4  amp  160  amp  160 5  amp  160  amp  160 -5  amp  160  amp  160 6  amp  160  amp  160 -6  lt  string gt     ii you can use   u0020    lt string name  test  gt -4  u0020 u0020 5  u0020 u00205 -5  u0020 u00205 6  u0020 u00205 -6  lt  string gt

Android doesn t support keeping the spaces at the end of the string in String xml file so if you want space after string you need to use this unicode in between the words       u0020   It is a unicode space character

User · Answer

As already mentioned the correct way to have a space in an XML file is by using  u0020 which is the unicode character for a space   Example    lt string name  spelatonertext3  gt -4  u00205  u0020-5  u00206  u0020-6 lt  string gt    Other suggestions have said to use  amp  160  or  amp  032  but there is two downsides to this  The first downside is that these are ASCII characters so you are relying on something like a TextView to parse them  The second downside is that  amp  160  can sometimes cause strange wrapping in TextViews

If the output is HTML  then in HTML multiple spaces display as a single space  To prevent this  use non-breaking spaces  xA0  instead of ordinary spaces
