Strings displayed differently in android and eclipse console

I am new to Android, so please dont be very harsh,

I am writing an application that simply displays a triangle on the android emulator screen, I have written a Triangle class and tested the picture in eclipse console! and it displayed perfectly however when I launch it in the emulator my triangle is off!

console android emulator

I have tried using various layouts, but nothing seems to solve the problem. Please help

layout

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/text1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="@string/hello_world" />

Activity class

    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    TextView text = (TextView) this.findViewById(R.id.text1);

    Triangle triangle = null;
    try {
        triangle = new Triangle (20);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    text.setText(triangle.toString());
   // text.setText("HERE SHOULD BE A TRIANGLE");


}

The solutions is that there can be monospaced font and proportional font. In my case it had to be changed to monospased. Solution in code below

 <TextView
    android:id="@+id/text1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:typeface="monospace"
    android:text="@string/hello_world" 
    />
