Question

I have a layout with an editText field.I have to fit a large amount of data by default in the text box while loading it initially. Since i fit the data dynamically onCreate i dont know the size of the data initially. Can somebody tell me how can i increase the height of the editText field(Include multiple lines on large data) dynamically?


                 android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:orientation="vertical" >

                                    android:id="@+id/textView5"
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:text="About me :"
                    android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
                    android:textColor="@color/dboard_classwall_txt_color" />

                                    android:id="@+id/text_about_me"
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="34dp"
                    android:background="@drawable/editbox_profile_bg"
                    android:gravity="center_vertical"
                    android:imeOptions="actionNext"
                    android:inputType="textPostalAddress"
                    android:maxLength="@integer/roster_max_contact_details_length"
                    android:minHeight="50dp"
                    android:paddingLeft="10dp"
                    android:paddingRight="10dp"
                    android:paddingTop="10dp"
                    android:singleLine="true"
                    android:textColor="@android:color/black"
                    android:textColorHint="@color/edit_prof_editbox_txt_color"
                    android:textCursorDrawable="@null" >

I think you should use


                    android:id="@+id/text_about_me"
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:background="@drawable/editbox_profile_bg"
                    android:gravity="center_vertical"
                    android:imeOptions="actionNext"
                    android:inputType="textPostalAddress"
                    android:minHeight="50dp"
                    android:paddingLeft="10dp"
                    android:paddingRight="10dp"
                    android:paddingTop="10dp"
                    android:singleLine="false"
                    android:textColor="@android:color/black"
                    android:textColorHint="@color/edit_prof_editbox_txt_color"
                    android:textCursorDrawable="@null" >

instead hope it helps

Just do this:

android:layout_height="34dp" => android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:singleLine="true" => android:singleLine="false"
