KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER having \n causes two new lines

I am using Edittext and I have KEYCODE_ENTER listener for it.

     emojiconEditText.setOnKeyListener(new View.OnKeyListener() {
        public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
           if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER)) {
            emojiconEditText.append("\n");
            return true;
            }
            return false;
        }
    });

Here "\n" is causing two newlines like "\n" + "\n". But I want only one newline. I am using input type = text multi line.

This key event is fired two times. First when user push down enter, second when user push up enter. So You must add some additional assertion like this.

 event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN
