java - Turn \r\n to a new list item in Android -

i'm being handed string such hello there my\r\nname is\r\njohn smith\r\nand\r\nstuff , want put each line in new list item... such as:

desired result (list view separate list items):

hello there -------------- name -------------- john smith -------------- , -------------- stuff 

i figured able parse entire string \r\n put each line array , use array adapter set list view, interprets \r\n new line. end having text view looks this:

current result (just 1 textview):

hello there name john smith , stuff 

is there way stop \r\n creating new line can parse array?

string[] mytext = {"helo there my", "name is", "john smith", "and", "stuff"}; 

have tried this?:

string[] mytext = originaltext.split("\r\n");
