What I need to do to my EditText don't change size?

By default my EditText has next view:

<EditText android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:paddingLeft="10dip"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:gravity="center_vertical"
            android:inputType="textShortMessage"
            android:id="@+id/search_string" android:background="@drawable/search_text_bg">
            <requestFocus></requestFocus>
        </EditText>

When I input text to it, it changes self size and background stretches. how to avoid it?

    android:layout_width="match_parent"

    OR

    android:layout_width="fill_parent"  // deprecated

    OR

    android:layout_width="50dip" // Manually assign any width you want.

One simple solution is to have android:layout_width="match_parent" and android:singleLine="true"

There are some attributes you need to set:

If you want to have single line edit text then do:

android:singleLine="true"

If you want to define maximum lines for edit text then do:

android:maxLines="3"
