Android Numeric EditText with multiple Lines

I have a numeric EditText and when I try to set multiple lines it doesn't work.

This is my code

      <EditText
        android:id="@+id/editText"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:inputType="phone" />

Java class

EditText editText = (EditText) view.findViewById(R.id.editText);
editText.setRawInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_PHONE|InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_MULTI_LINE);

Thanks.

add these lines to your editext xml

 android:minLines="2"
 android:maxLines="3"

also, don't use android:singleLine="false" since it is deprecated

Your flags are wrong. From the documentation:

TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_MULTI_LINE

Flag for TYPE_CLASS_TEXT: multiple lines of text can be entered into the field.

So TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_MULTI_LINE is compatible with TYPE_CLASS_TEXT but not TYPE_CLASS_PHONE.

I guess you just can't.
