Struggle with character "\" trying to display math formulas with mathjax

I'm trying to display a math formula written in LaTex in a webview, but i'm struggling with the character "\": I can't write "\" because is error, but if I use "\\" the app fails in rendering the formula.

url += "This is a display equation: $$P=\frac{F}{A}$$";

url += "This is also an identical display equation with different format:\\[P=\\frac{F}{A}\\]";

I'm using this question as a model: Display Good-looking Math Formula in Android

Any suggestion appreciated.
