Question

I want to create a multiple line editview to enter in some notes. I want the text aligned top left and 4 rows. How do I create that in layout xml file. Assume I am using a linearview.

Answer 1

Use EditText.

Set android:lines="4".

Set android:inputType="textMultiLine".

Set android:gravity="top|left".

Set other attributes (e.g., android:id) as needed.

Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 23 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. :-)
