Answer 1

I found solution for this problem

Just set the following parameters in xml file..

android:inputType="textCapSentences|textVisiblePassword" These are for setting first letter of sentence to caps and disable suggestions

and write following code in ur Activity

edittext.setSingleLine(false);

Answer 2

Try setting android:inputType="textMultiLine|textCapSentences|textVisiblePassword". What might be happening is that it is multiline but only one line is currently shown, in which you could say android:minLines="5" or so.
