Answer 1

You can try this it will work.

public class HelloWorld{

     public static void main(String []args){
        String s = "Hello\nHello";
        System.out.println(s.replaceAll("\n","\\\\n"));
     }

}

It is a plain java code but you can use the same function replaceAll in android as well and instead of S.O.P use setText().

Answer 2

Save the input in a string. Now check each character and store it in another string but when you encounter a next line or "\n" then append the string with "\"+"n". Keep checking till you encounter the end of string or null. You can also run a loop till sizeof(string). This new string will be your expected output.
