Question

I want to restrict the edittext entry to a single line but When I add the line android:singleline = "true", the hint is disappears, and after entering 26 characters the cursor is coming down.

Here’s my XML code:

   <EditText                      
            android:background="@drawable/edittxtborder"
            android:id="@+id/reglastname"
            android:singleLine="true"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:hint="@string/reglname"
            android:textSize="12dp" 
   />

Answer 1

add this code in your edittext xml code.

android:ellipsize="end"

this will work.
