Line break in resources strings doesn't work

Issue

This question exist two times :

Line break \n doesn't work, it show as string

String Resource new line /n not possible?

But neither \n or hit enter in strings.xml gives me a line break in the textView that i set the text. Does anyone knows why?

My textView:

   <TextView
    android:id="@+id/textView"
    android:layout_width="952dp"
    android:layout_height="172dp"
    android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
    android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
    android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
    android:ems="10"
    android:inputType="textPersonName"
    android:text="@string/give_username"
    android:textSize="45sp"
    android:textStyle="bold"
    app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.003" />

How i set the text:

this.textView.setText(R.string.give_sex_age);

The string in resources:

<string name="give_sex_age">You are a new user.\nPlease give your sex and your age</string>

Solution

As seeming.amusing said in the comments it was the inputType the reason that line break are ignored. I just delete this line

android:inputType="textPersonName"

Now it works!
