Cannot get the EditText to have multiple lines
I'm trying to have multiple lines in EditText. I have tried many solutions to get this working but none of them seem to work. What I have right now is this:
<EditText
android:id="@+id/uf_aboutme_box"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="top|start"
android:hint="@string/tellusaboutyourself"
android:inputType="textMultiLine"
android:lines="8"
android:maxLines="10"
android:minLines="6"
android:scrollbars="vertical"/>
Although, the above code renders correctly in the preview, when I test it on a real phone it becomes a single line! Can anybody tell me what's wrong with code above?
Edit:
The parent layout is:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
Edit 2:
This is my entire layout file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

I finally was able to resolve my issue by overriding the onViewCreated of the fragment and putting these line inside:
mAboutMeBox.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_MULTI_LINE);
mAboutMeBox.setSingleLine(false);
mAboutMeBox.setImeOptions(EditorInfo.IME_FLAG_NO_ENTER_ACTION);

This might work. Please check it out.
<EditText
android:inputType="textMultiLine" <!-- Multiline input -->
android:lines="8" <!-- Total Lines prior display -->
android:minLines="6" <!-- Minimum lines -->
android:gravity="top|left" <!-- Cursor Position -->
android:maxLines="10" <!-- Maximum Lines -->
android:layout_height="wrap_content" <!-- Height determined by content -->
android:layout_width="fill_parent" <!-- Fill entire width -->
android:scrollbars="vertical" <!-- Vertical Scroll Bar -->
/>

Put everything in ScrollView like following and you are good to go. Because LinearLayout does not support scrolling and it resized edittext according to the height left.
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:scrollbars="vertical"

I think parent view of edittext has been set weight, So parent view limit heigh of Edittext. You need re design your layout. Replace your code with:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
