Question

i have fixed height and width of the edit text.
When i start typing the cursor will be in the middle.
I want cursor to be from the beginning of the edit text.
How i can achieve this?
My code for edit text is as follows

<EditText
        android:id="@+id/txtMessage"
        android:layout_width="230dp"
        android:layout_height="120dp" 
        android:inputType="textMultiLine"               
        android:maxLength="100"/>

Answer 1

you need to set the gravity of the view (where the contents should be aligned).

android:gravity="left|top"
