Question

Hey guys i am using edit text in my application.
Problem arises if user touches enter button on soft keyboard then the cursor drops down to
new line and the user starts writting on new line.

For ex the user types :-

hey

guys

instead of hey guys

Then if i try getting the text from edit Text i am shown first hey and then next log debugger shows guys so the issue is that i am able to post some part of the message only to the server not the complete message.

Thanks in advance

Try something like this:

yourEditBox.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
            if (event.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER) {
                // intercept the return key
                return true;
            }
            return false;
        }

    });

also it might help to set the android:lines attribute of your EditText to 1.
