I am using an EditText the xml layout looks something like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">


<EditText android:id="@+id/SMSText"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:drawSelectorOnTop="true"
android:text="">
<requestFocus />
</EditText>

</LinearLayout>


When i run an activity with the above layout, it shows an EditText with the text position at the CENTER. The EditText shows uo multiple line which is one of my requirement.

My question is what property do i need to set so that my EditText text cursor starts from the first line and not from CENTER.

Hi, you can try add the gravity property.
