save multiple text line in sqlite

I want to know how to save multiple lines of tex开发者_运维知识库t in a SQLite field.

I create a EditText

I enter my Input with multiple lines of text

IE:

My test with

Multiple Line

Of description

When I save the text in SQLite using something like below, it only retains the first line.

db.insertDescription(EditText.getText().toString());

Is it possible to save all of the text instead of just the first line?

Parse out the new lines and replace it with something else, e.g. $%&%$, and put the new lines back in when you fetch from the database.
