Beside finding the source of the issue, I also found the solution. If 'android:inputType' used, then 'textMultiLine' must be used to enable multiLine support.
Also, using 'inputType' supercedes the code 'android:singleLine="false"'. If using 'inputType', to reiterate, 'textMultiLine' must be used or the EditText object will only consist of one line without word- wrapping Example XML code: <EditText android:id ="@+id/edtInput" android:layout_width ="0dip" android:layout_height ="wrap_content" android:layout_weight ="1" android:inputType ="textCapSentences|textMultiLine" android:maxLines ="4" android:maxLength ="2000" android:hint ="@string/compose_hint"/> On Jul 19, 12:49 pm, Bryan <bryguy0...@gmail.com> wrote: > I figured it out.
