want to print “\n” sign without getting a new line

Question

I have a string in my strings.xml in which there is "\n" sign between them

<string name="example">Hello\nworld</string>

What can I do to get the "\n" sign instead of a new line?

Special characters in string resources can be backslash-escaped. So if you want to display "Hello\nworld" then you should make your string be hello\\nworld (notice the double backslash).

In Code

String string = "abcd\nddsda";
System.out.println(string.replace("\n","\\n"));
