Answer 1

<EditText
        android:id="@+id/txtContacto"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dip"
        android:gravity="top"
        android:inputType="textMultiLine" 
        android:weight="1">
    </EditText>

try the above code.. where layout gravity sets the edittext and gravity sets the content of edittext.
