You can use \n to insert a line break in a text view.

Like this:

Answer 4

Make sure your TextView has a couple lines of code in xml:

android:lines="2" android:singleLine="false"

By default, android:singleLine true. Thus, you can install it in XML or in Java code ie:

 txtNextLine.setSingleLine(false); txtNotActivate.setText("first line\n"+"second line"); 

Hope this helps.
