Long strings in XML

[Jim Venolia]

Last year I wrote my first droid app using Eclipse.  My app pretty much just prints out a list, in Java it was

data =    "this is line 1\n"
        + "this is line 2\n"
        + "this is line 3\n"

Continued for 8-9 lines.

Well, I decided to update it.  Decided to use AndroidStudio this time around, which was fun.  Then I decided it was probably better to make my text a resource, which means putting it into an xml file.  But I can't find anything telling me how to make an xml string more than a line long.

Advice?

Got it, just end each line with a backslash.

    "line 1              \
     this is line 2      \
     three lines have we \
     etc etc"

What should I have googled for to get that, instead of racking my brain for various ways I've done this kind of thing?
