How to make a new line or tab in <string> XML (eclipse/android)?

\n didn't work for me. So I used <br/> HTML tag

<string name="message_register_success">
    Sign up is complete. <br/>
    Enjoy a new shopping life at fatherofapps.com!!
</string>

Add \t for tab and \n for new line.


Use \n for a line break and \t if you want to insert a tab.

You can also use some XML tags for basic formatting: <b> for bold text, <i> for italics, and <u> for underlined text
