I would personally prefer using   n   This just puts a line break in Linux or Android   For example   String str    I am the first part of the info being emailed  nI am the second part  n nI am the third part      Output  I am the first part of the info being emailed  I am the second part   I am the third part    A more generalized way would be to use   System getProperty  line separator     For example   String str    I am the first part of the info being emailed     System getProperty  line separator      I am the second part     System getProperty  line separator     System getProperty  line separator      I am the third part      brings the same output as above  Here  the static getProperty   method of the System class can be used to get the  line seperator  for the particular OS   But this is not necessary at all  as the OS here is fixed  that is  Android  So  calling a method every time is a heavy and unnecessary operation   Moreover  this also increases your code length and makes it look kind of messy  A   n  is sweet and simple
