Insert horizontal line in text int TextView

enter image description here I have a plenty of lines to display in a single TextView . I get the text from database and then display it. So I want to build the database with entries and horizontal lines in it. When I copy paste them. Only words get pasted and horizontal lines don't appear. I want to insert some horizontal lines at some points of the line like

Hello

Hi I am fine

There should be a divider like line that can be inserted at places I want . Are there any escape sequences? But it should be done in TextView text. Is there any trick to do it? I tried copy pasting the text with line from word but it only copies the text and not the line . Are there any ways to do it like using the horizontal tag in html?? Any help is highly appreciable..

Add this layout below to your layout XML:

<LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="2dp"
    android:background="@android:color/darker_gray">
</LinearLayout>

You could try to do some css inherited in the TextView:

myTextView.setText(Html.fromHtml("<span style="border....">Hello</span>"));

Edit:

String dynamicText = "textGenerated";
String message = "<span style='border-bottom:1px solid'>" + dynamicText + "</span>";

myTextView.setText(Html.fromHtml(message));
