Creating multiline Edit view in android with coding

Question

I have created an EditText object dynamically but I haven't been able to create a multi-line EditText. I have tried this:

EditText et1 = new EditText(this);
et1.setHint("Enter Your Address");
et1.setSingleLine(false);
et1.setHorizontalScrollBarEnabled(false);
et1.setInputType(android.text.InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_POSTAL_ADDRESS);
et1.setLines(7);

Thanks.

Include this in your code:

    et1.setMaxLines(maxlines);

Or you can set the specific height for the edit text.
