You can use the android:minLines="3" for display the multiline in edittext. and for display cursor on the top of the edittext you can use like android:gravity="top."

<EditText
            android:id="@+id/edittext"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent"
            android:minLines="3"
            android:maxLines="5"
            android:gravity="top"
            android:inputType="textMultiLine" />
