inputType="number" with more than one line

I have the following EditText:

<EditText
     android:id="@+id/txt1"
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:layout_gravity="center"
     android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
     android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
     android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
     android:background="@drawable/rounded_corners"
     android:hint="Txt1"
     android:inputType="number"
     android:minLines="2"
     android:text=""/>

where rounded_corners it's:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >

    <stroke
        android:width="1dp"
        android:color="#FFFFFFFF" />

    <solid android:color="#FFFFFFFF" />

    <padding
        android:left="1dp"
        android:right="1dp"
        android:top="1dp" />

    <corners android:radius="5dp"/>

</shape>

The problem it's that I don't know how to do this EditText bigger (it just display one line) when I add inputType="number". I mean that it could have more than one line displayed.

What I have tried

1) Change the layout_height to match_parent.

2) Add to the inputType attribute the value textMultiLine.

3) Set a fixed height with android:height.

4) As you can see in the code above, I also add android:minLines attribute.

5) I also tried setting a number of lines with android:lines.

None of this methods solve my problem so any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Please add these two lines to your EditText XML file, it works:

android:inputType="textMultiLine|number"

android:digits="0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9"

You might add the android:singleLine attribute and set it to false (it will probably still not work though). However, it seems rather odd to use textMultiLine and number together as the new line character is neither a number nor number related.

Also note that the inputType attribute is merely a hint for the IME and not all of them may honor the set values.
