Android UI How to - Multiple lines and single line








You could force the user to a single line by setting the singleLine property to true.

So if you want the old default behavior of multiline typing, you need to specify inputType with textMultiLine.

Example

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">
/*w  w w.java  2  s.  c om*/
    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/myEditText"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:inputType="textMultiLine" />

</LinearLayout>

Java code

package com.java2s.app;
//  w ww .j  a v  a  2  s  . c  o  m
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
public class MainActivity extends Activity
{
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    }

}
