Answer 1

editText.setImeOptions(EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE);
//This will treat Enter as Done instead of new line:
editText.setRawInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT); 

And in XML:
android:inputType="textMultiLine"

Answer 2

I was interested in this, and realized that the built-in Android messaging app has wrapped text without the enter key on the soft keyboard. According to the source layout here, it's done with the following options. Not all are necessary; I believe the key is to have textShortMessage, textMultiLine, and flagNoEnterAction:

android:inputType="textShortMessage|textAutoCorrect|textCapSentences|textMultiLine"
android:imeOptions="actionSend|flagNoEnterAction"

Answer 3

I too was looking for something to do this as well. The only solution I found was to extend the EditText as follows:

package com.kylemilligan.test;

import android.content.Context;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.view.inputmethod.EditorInfo;
import android.view.inputmethod.InputConnection;
import android.widget.EditText;

public class NoNewlineEditText extends EditText
{

    public NoNewlineEditText(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public NoNewlineEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attributeSet) {
        super(context, attributeSet);
    }    

    @Override
    public InputConnection onCreateInputConnection(EditorInfo outAttrs)
    {
        InputConnection connection = super.onCreateInputConnection(outAttrs);
        int imeActions = outAttrs.imeOptions & EditorInfo.IME_MASK_ACTION;
        if ((imeActions & EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE) != 0)
        {
            // clear the existing action
            outAttrs.imeOptions ^= imeActions;
            // set the DONE action
            outAttrs.imeOptions |= EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE;
        }
        if ((outAttrs.imeOptions & EditorInfo.IME_FLAG_NO_ENTER_ACTION) != 0)
        {
            outAttrs.imeOptions &= ~EditorInfo.IME_FLAG_NO_ENTER_ACTION;
        }
        return connection;
    }
}

And then in XML use like:

        <com.kylemilligan.test.NoNewlineEditText
            android:id="@+id/noNewLineText"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:gravity="top|left"
            android:imeOptions="actionDone"
            android:minLines="5" />

Hope this helps!
