Android EditText not Multi Line

Question

Possible Duplicate:
restrict edittext to single line

I have 2 edit texts. My problem is, when I press the enter button in the keyboard, it creates another set of line. Or it creates like a next line in my edit text. I want to remove it and I want it to be in single line. Even if I enter the enter key in the keyboard, still it won't create a next line.

How do you do it?

`android:line="1"` or `android:singleLine="true"` in your EditText's attribute. — user370305, Jan 29 '13 at 06:32

singleLine is deprecated. – Luis May 12 '16 at 16:26

Use `android:maxLines="1"`. And use with `android:inputType="text"` and `android:imeOptions="actionDone"` to prevent going to the next line. – Fernando Zabin Jul 31 '17 at 14:23

 <EditText
    android:id="@+id/edittextView1"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:maxLines="1"
    android:singleLine="true"/>

Try this with your edit text in layout
