Create a multiline EditText programmatically

Question

I am trying to create a multiline EditText by code. This is what I use:

EditText txt = new EditText(this);     lp = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, 1.0f); txt.setLayoutParams(lp); txt.setSingleLine(false);  txt.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_MULTI_LINE); 

But it is still in one single line.

Answer 1

This should do it

txt.setSingleLine(false); txt.setImeOptions(EditorInfo.IME_FLAG_NO_ENTER_ACTION); 

Answer 2

You may also use this:

txt.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT|InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_MULTI_LINE);
