EditText with single text line, line wrapping and Done action?

Question

I am trying to have an EditText with the following characteristics when editing with a soft key. I ready the documentation, searched here, play with the parameters

Answer 1

Just add

editText.setHorizontallyScrolling(false);
editText.setMaxLines(Integer.MAX_VALUE);

with your edittext instance in your activity programmatically.

It configures the EditText instance so that the user edits a single-line string that is displayed with soft-wrapping on multiple lines with IME options.

Answer 2

This combination (and the specific order of the EditText method calls) should produce the configuration that you want:

  editText.setInputType(
    InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_CAP_SENTENCES);
  editText.setSingleLine(true);
  editText.setLines(4); // desired number of lines
  editText.setHorizontallyScrolling(false);
  editText.setImeOptions(EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE);
