Android escape JavaScript String

Question

I'm appending a JavaScript to an HTML file using android. I have this part:

String JavaScriptStr = "this.value = this.value.replace(/[^0-9\.]/g,'');";

Eclipse gives me an error saying:

Invalid escape sequence (valid ones are \b \t \n, etc...)

How do I escape that JS string? Thanks for any help!
