Please help me how to print the above output

Answer 1

whenever you call setText on a TextView you change the entire text. you should create your String first and then set that as your TextView's text.

String text = "";
for(int i=1;i<6;i++) {
  text += i+"\n";
}
textView.setText(text)'

another solution is using append instead of setText

for(int i=1;i<6;i++) {
  textView.append(i+"\n");
}

Answer 2

I want from you in one comment to please show what it is printing right now ? and what you want to print ? if you have 6 textviews then just do this

tv1.setText(""+i+"");
tv1.setText(""+i+"");
tv1.setText(""+i+"");
tv1.setText(""+i+"");
tv1.setText(""+i+"");

Answer 3

try this

String value="";
for(int i=1;i<6;i++)
{
    value = value + i + "\n";
}
textView.setText(value);
