EditText height changes according to the text size

Question

If I change the textsize in editext, the height of edittext changes accordingly. I want the size of edittext to be same and I want a smaller sized hint or text to be in it. What should I do? Following is the code and I am also posting the screenshot of this layout :

  <RelativeLayout
            android:id="@+id/normal"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="#4594e4"
            android:orientation="horizontal">

            <ImageView
                android:id="@+id/set"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="75dp"
                android:layout_marginTop="05dp"
                android:padding="5dp"
                android:src="@drawable/bari" />

            <EditText
                android:id="@+id/etOrigin"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_marginRight="@dimen/_35sdp"
                android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/_10sdp"
                android:layout_toEndOf="@+id/set"
                android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/set"
                android:background="#5fa7f1"
                android:inputType="textPersonName"
                android:text="My Location"
                android:textColor="#434343"
                android:textIsSelectable="true" />

            <EditText
                android:id="@+id/etDestination"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_below="@+id/etOrigin"
                android:layout_marginRight="@dimen/_35sdp"
                android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/_5sdp"
                android:layout_toEndOf="@+id/set"
                android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/set"
                android:background="#5fa7f1"
                android:inputType="textPersonName"
                android:onClick="wow"
                android:text="Where to go ?"
                android:textColor="#fff"
                android:textColorHint="#fff" />

            <ImageView
                android:id="@+id/swipe"
                android:layout_width="30dp"
                android:layout_height="27dp"
                android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
                android:layout_centerVertical="true"
                android:layout_marginRight="@dimen/_5sdp"
                android:background="@drawable/flip" />

        </RelativeLayout>

Try using android:minHeight and android:maxHeight attributes :

                            <EditText
                            android:id="@+id/etUserName"
                            android:layout_width="match_parent"
                            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                            android:hint="@string/hint_username"
                            android:imeOptions="actionNext"
                            android:inputType="textPersonName"
                            android:maxLines="1"
                            android:gravity="center_vertical"
                            android:minHeight="?actionBarSize"
                            android:maxHeight="?actionBarSize"
                            android:textColor="@color/textPrimary"
                            android:textSize="12sp"/>

                            <EditText
                            android:id="@+id/etUserEmail"
                            android:layout_width="match_parent"
                            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                            android:hint="@string/hint_username"
                            android:imeOptions="actionNext"
                            android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
                            android:maxLines="1"
                            android:gravity="center_vertical"
                            android:minHeight="?actionBarSize"
                            android:maxHeight="?actionBarSize"
                            android:textColor="@color/textPrimary"
                            android:textSize="14sp"/>

Answer 2

Use padding for this :-

         <EditText
            android:id="@+id/etOrigin"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:padding="12dp"
            android:layout_marginRight="@dimen/_35sdp"
            android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/_10sdp"
            android:layout_toEndOf="@+id/set"
            android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/set"
            android:background="#5fa7f1"
            android:inputType="textPersonName"
            android:text="My Location"
            android:textColor="#434343"
            android:textIsSelectable="true" />

Answer 3

Give fix height to the layout android:layout_height="75dp"

            <EditText
            android:id="@+id/etOrigin"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="75dp"
            android:layout_marginRight="@dimen/_35sdp"
            android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/_10sdp"
            android:layout_toEndOf="@+id/set"
            android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/set"
            android:background="#5fa7f1"
            android:inputType="textPersonName"
            android:text="My Location"
            android:textColor="#434343"
            android:textIsSelectable="true"/>

Here, try this third party library. Your TextView height would be fixed but your textView size will be adjusted

dependencies {
    compile 'me.grantland:autofittextview:0.2.+'
}

Enable any View extending TextView in code:

AutofitHelper.create(textView);

Enable any View extending TextView in XML:

<me.grantland.widget.AutofitLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    >
    <Button
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:singleLine="true"
        />
</me.grantland.widget.AutofitLayout>

Use the built in Widget in code or XML:

<RootElement
    xmlns:autofit="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    ...
<me.grantland.widget.AutofitTextView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:singleLine="true"
    android:maxLines="2"
    android:textSize="40sp"
    autofit:minTextSize="16sp"
    />
