Hy! I am working on Android app for Cars where I want to show news of car. So I have 50 lines of text, I want to put all that text in one activity so u can scroll and read that text. Should I use TextView or something else? Should I save that whole text in res/strings.xml ?

You can use TextView. However, i recommend use the following part in the .xml part:

<TextView
    android:text="@string/nameofthetext"
/>

nameofthetext should be save in the strings.xml file (You'll find in the values folder)

You can use the TextView itself. To make it scrollable see this Stackoverflow answer. It is recommended to store strings in strings.xml

If you need scrolling content, the easiest thing to do is place the view to be scrolled in a ScrollView. This works for any type of view that does not scroll itself, including TextView.
