What is the Android version of HTML TextArea?

Question

What is an Android presentation element that produces an effect similar to the textarea HTML input widget?

I want to create a form for sending email and for the body field. I want to create a text type of a user interface element in a form.

Can anyone suggest a way to do this?

Answer 1

EditText seems to be the obvious choice here.

You need to set the attribute android:inputTypeto textMultiLine.
