EditText with Single Line, Line Wrapping and Done Action in Android

Regular formula for making an EditText
– Single Line : no new line <Enter> allowed,
– Line Wrapping : Single line wrapped into multiple lines, and
– Done Action : imeAction set as actionDone

is possible through only XML properties. That is,

android:inputType="text|textCapSentences"
android:singleLine="true"
android:lines="6"
android:imeOptions="actionDone"

But, only this is not enough. You need to set all these properties programatically.

You have to set all the extra options (other than layout_width and layout_height) programatically. That is,

EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edit_text);
editText.setImeOptions(EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE);
editText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_CAP_SENTENCES);
editText.setLines(6);
editText.setHorizontallyScrolling(true);
editText.setSingleLine();
