I have a custom Dialog that contains only a TextView to display some text in my application. The documentation lists that only the b, i, u, tt, big, small, sup, sub, and strike tags are supported. I really need to add some newlines for readability. Do I need to change to a more complicated layout, or is there some way to encode newlines in the resource? I tried adding br tags, but that did not help.

Add Line Breaks to a TextView Just add a \n to your text. This can be done directly in your layout file, or in a string resource and will cleanly break the text in your TextView to the next line.
Add \t for tab and \n for new line.
To add spacing between lines or paragraphs of text in a cell, use a keyboard shortcut to add a new line. Click the location where you want to break the line. Press ALT+ENTER to insert the line break.
we can add a simple '\n' to TextView text where we want to start a new line. in this way we can create a multiline TextView widget in android app. we can assign android:text attribute value by this way android:text="Line1 \n Line2 \n Line3" for a TextView widget.
On a lark, I tried adding \n to my resource, and happily discovered that it added a newline! I hope this saves someone else the trouble.
