When Pressing "Enter" button on EditText is creating a new line

Question

When I'm pressing "enter" on the keyboard, the EditText space is creating a new line and raising the space of EditText, disturbing my app layout. How can I stop this?

Thanks!

You could set the EditText to single line in the XML. What do you want to happen instead? — OneCricketeer, Sep 18 '16 at 22:09

These 3 flags will solve your issue. Add them to your edit text view.

android:inputType="text"
android:imeOptions="actionNext"
android:maxLines="1"
