Replace carriage returns \n with real carriage in android app

Question

I have an Android app that retrieves values from a servers database and displays them in the app but carriage returns are coming back as \\n but I need them to act as carriage that will place text below onto a new line.

I first post data to my server to store in database like this:

$body = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn, $_POST['body']); 

Then I encrypt the text before storing in database like this

$encryptedBodyText = base64_encode(mcrypt_encrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, md5($key), $body, MCRYPT_MODE_CBC, md5(md5($key))));

I now get the data from the database and then JSON it to android

$decryptedBody = trim(mcrypt_decrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, md5($key), base64_decode($body), MCRYPT_MODE_CBC, md5(md5($key))), "\0");

but when I show this data in the android the new lines are shown as \\n instead of actual new lines.

How can I replace the \\n so they are actual new lines in java

I've tried

String t = sharedBodyText.replace("\n",System.getProperty("line.separator"));
bodyText.setText(t); 

and it doesn't work but if I change to

String t = sharedBodyText.replace("gg",System.getProperty("line.separator"));
bodyText.setText(t); 

it does work if there is "gg" in the body text

Answer 1

How about replacing \\n with System.getProperty("line.separator") in Android side

Try this:

text.replaceAll("\n", System.getProperty("line.separator"));
