By default all the EditText widgets in Android are multi-lined. And you can configure the number of lines and the characters types. By setting the input type to multiline do the trick.

   ...
   android:lines="8" 
   android:minLines="6" 
   android:gravity="top|left" 
   android:maxLines="10" 
   android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
   android:layout_width="match_parent" 
   android:scrollbars="vertical" 
/>
