string - TextView multiple lines using \n not working - Android -

here textview need have multiple lines on

<textview     android:id="@+id/date1"     android:layout_width="fill_parent"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:layout_below="@id/title"     android:textcolor="#343434"     android:textsize="14sp"     android:layout_margintop="1dip"     android:layout_torightof="@id/list_image"     android:layout_marginleft="4dp"     android:maxlines="3"/> 

this textview gets used in listview have text being set via adapter.class. looking @ individual xml file used set style textview when add string \n in it works fine try , using class not work , says things along lines of "this text\nthis more." textview's text set line in adapter.class

date1.settext(song.get(customizedlistview.key_date1)); 

customizedlistview.class sets listview , gives adapter it's strings required set text. know why using set strings via class not work \n? have heard line above has changed in way work unsure how. reading , helping.

adapter.class

public class lazyadapter extends baseadapter {      private activity activity;     private arraylist<hashmap<string, string>> data;     private static layoutinflater inflater=null;     public imageloader imageloader;       public lazyadapter(activity a, arraylist<hashmap<string, string>> d) {         activity = a;         data=d;         inflater = (layoutinflater)activity.getsystemservice(context.layout_inflater_service);         imageloader=new imageloader(activity.getapplicationcontext());     }      public int getcount() {         return data.size();     }      public object getitem(int position) {         return position;     }      public long getitemid(int position) {         return position;     }      public view getview(int position, view convertview, viewgroup parent) {         view vi=convertview;         if(convertview==null)             vi = inflater.inflate(r.layout.list_row, null);          textview title = (textview)vi.findviewbyid(r.id.title); // title         textview date1 = (textview)vi.findviewbyid(r.id.date1);         textview platforms = (textview)vi.findviewbyid(r.id.platforms);         imageview thumb_image=(imageview)vi.findviewbyid(r.id.list_image); // thumb image          hashmap<string, string> song = new hashmap<string, string>();         song = data.get(position);           // setting values in listview         title.settext(song.get(customizedlistview.key_title));         date1.settext(song.get(customizedlistview.key_date1));         platforms.settext(song.get(customizedlistview.key_platforms));         imageloader.displayimage(song.get(customizedlistview.key_thumb_url), thumb_image);          return vi;     } }
