Replacing the string in android?

In my application I am displaying text from database in a textview. The text contains '\r\n'. So I replaced '\r\n' with empty i.e with ' '.

My code:

String myString = listItem.gettextdata().replace("\r\n", " ");

But still the text is displaying with \r\n....where I went wrong? Please help me regarding this....

Thanks in advance

Simply:

    String str;
    str = "hello\r\njava\r\nbook";
    str = str.replaceAll("(\\r|\\n)", " ");
    System.out.println(str);

Or

str = str.replaceAll("\\r\\n", " ");

What if you try a .toString() after gettestdate():

String myString = listItem.gettextdata().toString().replace("\r\n", " ");

You should use 

listItem.getText().toString().replace...

Is this a case where you have to escape the backslash character, i.e. 

String myString = listItem.gettextdata().replace("\\\\r\\\\n", " ");
