New line (\n) not Supporting in android?

Question

I am trying to split the single string in to two lines using \n in android but it shows as it is with \n too. I am expecting below,

String new = "Hi, How are you";

In EditText box I need,

Hi,

How are you

I know its simple question but I couldn't find a solution.

Answer 1

I think you are new into android development like me. It's really easy to do...

You just have to do this:

editText.setText("Hi,\nHow are you?");

Answer 2

It's "\n" - a backslash, not a forward slash.
