Is there anyway to make an EditText start typing at the top left corner of the EditText?

I have an EditText with the p开发者_C百科roperty:

android:minLines="3"

However, when I start typing, it types in the middle of the EditText.

Is there any way to get this to start typing at the top left of the EditText area?

Add android:gravity="top|left" to the EditText in the layout XML file.

Just insert

android:gravity="top"

into your EditText.

android:gravity="start" would put it to the top left.

This will help you. Try this EditText....

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/edt_comment_note"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="60dp"
    android:background="@drawable/white_box"
    android:gravity="top"
    android:hint="Note"
    android:imeOptions="actionDone"
    android:maxLines="3"
    android:padding="5dp"
    android:textSize="15sp" />
