Answer 1

You can use android:inputType="textCapSentences|textMultiLine|textAutoCorrect"

<EditText
        android:id="@+id/notes_box"
        android:inputType="textCapSentences|textMultiLine|textAutoCorrect"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@+id/notes_title"
        android:layout_marginLeft="16dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="16dp"
        android:padding="9dp"
        android:lines="5"
        android:gravity="top|left"
        android:maxLength="500"
        android:textColor="@color/gray"/>

Try it..

        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:inputType="textMultiLine"/>
