Answer 1

Try this

 <string name="Your string name" > This is your string.

       This is the second line of your string.\n\n Third line of your string.</string>

This will result in the following on your TextView:

This is your string.

This is the second line of your string.

Third line of your string.

Answer 2

You can add the long string to /res/values/strings.xml, as it appears you've done.

You can separate paragraphs with the \n.

You will need to use Unicode codes for special characters like backslash, etc.. See this answer.

Yes, was just going to add what's in the other answer: The other trick is to use the CDATA trick:

<![CDATA[Foo Bar <a href="foo?id=%s">baz</a> is cool]]>

See this answer for more on that.
