How to give paragraphs in an activity?

Question

I am building an app for an University. As required I am adding paragraphs taking separate TextView for each paragraphs. Is there a way where i can give paragraphs combined. Its just my thought on whether this is possible? Here is the code snippet i worked on.

<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="textPostalAddress"
android:text="Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry." />

<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/textView2"
android:layout_below="@+id/textView2"
android:layout_marginTop="14dp"
android:inputType="numberSigned"
android:text="+91 12 12345678" />

<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/textView1"
android:layout_below="@+id/textView1"
android:inputType="phone"
android:text="+91 12 12345678" />

<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView4"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/textView3"
android:layout_below="@+id/textView3"
android:autoLink="email"
android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
android:text="admissions@abc.edu" />

Here in my code I want to give the two phone numbers and the email id combined in a single TextView. Is it possible?
