Android TextView Text not getting wrapped

Question

Following is the code:

I put this attribute:

android:inputType="textMultiLine"

into my TextView and it has wrapping line and user can "Enter" for a new line.

When you come to this post, you may want to create a Big TextView which can display multiple lines so these attributes may also needed

android:layout_height="Xdp" //where X is a number depends on how big Textview you want
android:gravity="top" //in order to make your text start from the top of your TextView.
