Answer 1

/** MAX_LINES You want to set */

  public void afterTextChanged(Editable editable) {
        int lines = mEditText.getLineCount();
        if (lines > MAX_LINES) {
            String s = editable.toString();
            int start = mEditText.getSelectionStart();
            int end = mEditText.getSelectionEnd();

            if (start == end && start < s.length() && start > 1) {
                s = s.substring(0, start - 1) + s.substring(start);
            } else {
                s = s.substring(0, s.length() - 1);
            }

            mEditText.setText(s);
            mEditText.setSelection(mEditText.getText().length());
            // Toast.makeText(RatingActivity.this, "max line set to MAX_LINES", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
  }

This piece of code works for me to set the EditText max lines limit to MAX_LINES.
