</EditText>

I want to make the above EditText to have only single line. Even if the user presses "enter" the cursor should not get down to the second line. Can anybody help me doing that?

 android:maxLines="1"

You must add this line in your EditText in xml:

Answer 3

android:imeOptions="actionDone"

Using android:singleLine="true" is deprecated.

Just add your input type and set maxline to 1 and everything will work fine

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

please try this code

android:inputType="textPersonName"
