How to Make EditText Box Height Expand

Here is my layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >


<EditText
android:id="@+id/etTweetReview"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:ems="10"
android:hint="Discuss up to 140 characters"
android:imeOptions="actionDone"
android:inputType="textCapSentences"
android:lines="2"
android:maxLength="140"
android:paddingBottom="10dp"
android:singleLine="false" />


<Button
android:id="@+id/theReviewBarButton"
android:layout_width="200dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_marginBottom="5dp"
android:text="Submit Review"
android:textSize="22sp" />


<Spinner
android:id="@+id/spinnerSort"
android:layout_width="120dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:layout_marginRight="5dp" />


<ListView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/android:list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:scrollbars="none"
android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp" >
</ListView>


</LinearLayout>

When that EditText box gets to the end, I want it to wrap to the next line. Right now, it just keeps going right moving everything left off screen.

Similar to another question:

Android Word-Wrap EditText text

Here's some example XML code:

<EditText
android:id="@+id/edtInput"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:hint="@string/compose_hint"
android:inputType="textCapSentences|textMultiLine"
android:maxLength="2000"
android:maxLines="4" />

Assume that you just want to have one line at first then expand it to 5 lines and you want to have maximum 10 lines.

<EditText
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/etMessageBox"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:autoLink="all"
android:hint="@string/message_edit_text_hint"
android:lines="5"
android:minLines="1"
android:gravity="top|left"
android:maxLines="10"
android:scrollbars="none"
android:inputType="textMultiLine|textCapSentences"/>

By increasing android:lines you can define expand it how many lines.

try this code

<EditText
android:id="@+id/"edittext01"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="textCapSentences|textMultiLine"
android:maxLength="100"
android:maxLines="10"/>

Remove this line form your EditText

android:inputType="textCapSentences"

and add this line with number of lines required by you

android:lines="2"

Hope this helps you

Just add android:lines="6" to your edittext

 <Edittext
android:id="@+id/edt_address"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="textMultiLine"
android:maxLines="6"
android:lines="6"
android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:gravity="left"/>

You need your EditText height set to android:layout_height="wrap_content"

&

android:lines="5"

This did the trick for me inside ConstraintLayout
