Hide Soft keyboard on return key press

If you don't want multiple line, for you edittext you can just specify a single line. For the edittext and also you can put imeOptions as Done like this:

<EditText 
   android:id="@+id/edittext_done"
   android:layout_width="fill_parent"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   android:imeOptions="actionDone"
   android:singleLine="true"
   />

I clearly don't know, whether you are trying to achieve this or not.Any way take a look.

EDIT: android:singleLine is deprecated since API 3 due to bad performance, you have to use android:maxLines instead. singleLine will be available because even now some effects are not supported by android:maxLines attribute.

I solved the issue by changing the following in the XML file from:

 android:inputType="textMultiLine"

to:

 android:inputType="textImeMultiLine"
