EditText maxLines not working - user can still input more lines than set

Question

<EditText 
    android:id="@+id/editText2" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:maxLines="5" 
    android:lines="5">
</EditText>

User can input more than 5 lines, by pressing enter/next row key. How can I limit user input to fixed amount of rows with EditText?

Answer 1

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/edit_text"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:inputType="text"
    android:maxLines="1" 
/>

You just need to make sure you have the attribute "inputType" set. It doesn't work without this line.

android:inputType="text"
