Hi, I need an EditText that allows to write several lines and have them displayed on the screen.
I don't know if an EditText can be configured to serve that way.
Any advice?
Thanks.

EDIT: Something similar to "textarea" in html.

You may wish to investigate these two properties:
B4X: 
    EditText1.SingleLine = False
    EditText1.InputType = EditText1.INPUT_TYPE_TEXT
That may help you accomplish what you're trying to do. If you're looking for something a little more "Wordpad-ish" then take a look at https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/rtfeditor-version-2021.129581/

Also, @Erel posted a wrapper for a java-version for use in an HTML setting a little while back, but I can't locate it just now.
