To add a newline between texts in Android TextViews we can make use of the escape sequence that we use in Java Programming i.e "\n" (Slash followed by character n).

Let's see an Example :

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    tools:ignore="HardcodedText" >
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
        android:text="This is Line 1 \n This is Line 2 \n\n This is Line 3"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />
</RelativeLayout>
