Make sure your TextView has couple of lines of code in xml:

android:lines="2" android:singleLine="false"

by default android:singleLine is true. So you can set it in XML or in Java code i.e. :

txtNextLine.setSingleLine(false);
txtNotActivate.setText("first line\n"+"second line");

Hope this will help.

You can use \n to insert a line break in your textview.

Like this:

playing.setText( "STATION: \n" + stations.get( position ) );

TextView tv = new TextView(this);
tv.setText("First Line \n this is Second Line");
setContentView(tv);
