    You need to change gravity parameter.

    Java Code

    editText.setGravity(Gravity.TOP| Gravity.LEFT); 
    

    XML

    <EditText 
        android:id="@+id/tester" 
        android:layout_height="113dip" 
        android:layout_width="420dip" 
        android:background="@drawable/textarea_reason" 
        android:gravity="top|left"/>
