Question

I am using the following code in my xml,
I want to give background to my edittext,the background image is around 400*190 pixels..
Edittext is only occupying only one line and when on other part nothing is happening.

How to set my Edittext to occupy my background image,so that when I click on anypart of it,it should popup keyboard.

 <RelativeLayout
    android:id="@+id/noteslayout"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
    android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
    android:layout_marginRight="5dp" 
    android:background="@drawable/edittextnotes" > 

    <EditText
        android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
        android:id="@+id/notes"         
        android:maxLines="5"
        android:capitalize="sentences"
        android:layout_width="250dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:imeOptions="actionDone" />

</RelativeLayout>

Thanks in advance

Why don’t you try to set the background of EditText only besides RelativeLayout as below:

  <EditText
     android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
     android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
     android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
     android:id="@+id/notes"         
     android:maxLines="5"
      android:lines="5"       <---- set this lines property
     android:background="@drawable/edittextnotes"    <----See this.
     android:capitalize="sentences"
     android:layout_width="250dp"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:imeOptions="actionDone"/>
