restrict edittext to single line
android, android-edittext
Solution
Use `android:maxLines="1"` and `android:inputType="text"`
You forgot the android:maxLines attribute. And refer for android:inputType With your example, below will give this result:
<EditText
android:id="@+id/searchbox"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:maxLines="1"
android:inputType="text"
android:scrollHorizontally="true"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_marginTop="2dp"
android:drawablePadding="10dp"
android:background="@drawable/edittext"
android:drawableLeft="@drawable/folder_full"
android:drawableRight="@drawable/search"
android:paddingLeft="15dp"
android:hint="search...">
</EditText>

Even if the user presses "enter" the cursor should not get down to the second line. Can anybody help me doing that?
