Android newline in my EditText

Question

i got some data like this "line 1 \n line 2" from my distant server by using json with utf8 encoding, and when i try to put the data in my EditText the newline \n doesn't work in spite of unscaping the data by using URLDecoder.decode() because i use databases. Any suggestions

all the best .

Answer 1

String value=userdataArrayList2[0].toString().trim().replace("\\n", "\n");

In back end database insert data like this :

name is osama\nibrahim 

result:

name is osama
ibrahim

Answer 2

Solved , by using

myString.replace("\\n", "\n");
