It's better to use string ressources.

Put all your string value in a file on res/values/strings.xml.

If you want to add space you can do it by surround your text by double quotes.

You can see an example in the documentation : http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/string-resource.html#FormattingAndStyling

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/xxx"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
    android:text="@string/empty_spaces" />

in strings. 

<string name="empty_spaces">Input\t\t type</string>

You can replace spaces by \u0020

<TextView android:text="Input\u0020\u0020\u0020\u0020\u0020types" />
