How do I add a newline to a TextView in Android?

When I define a TextView in xml, how do I add a new line to it? \n seems not to work.

<TextView
   android:id="@+id/txtTitlevalue"
   android:text="Line1 -\nLine2"
   android:layout_width="54dip"
   android:layout_height="fill_parent"
   android:textSize="11px" />

Solution 1:

Don't trust the Visual editor. Your code does work in the emu.

Solution 2:

Try:

android:lines="2"

\n should work.

Solution 3:

try System.getProperty("line.separator");

Solution 4:

I think this has something to do with your HTM.fromHtml(subTitle) call: a "\n" doesn't mean bupkis to HTML. Try <br/> instead of "\n".
