What I want is that when text exceeds the size of EditText, it should not Change its size. please help

Answer 1

android:maxLines="1"

Another property...

Answer 2

You have to do your ExitText to be single line. You can use android:singleLine but it is deprecated and it's replaced by android:inputType. Use android:inputType=text for single line and android:inputType=textMultiline for multiline

Answer 3

add this property for EditText and check...

android:singleLine="true"

Answer 4

android:singleLine="true" should work.
