Apps Simple question with EditText

[gellytabs]

Hello all,

I have a button that I would like to start a newline in an EditText. I have tried both of the following, but neither will actually insert a newline:

EditText t = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.codeText);
String codeText = t.getText().toString();
codeText += "\n";
t.setText(codeText);
t.setSelection(t.getText().toString().length()); //set cursor to end

OR

EditText t = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.codeText);
SpannableStringBuilder t_init = (SpannableStringBuilder) t.getText();
t_init.append("\n");
t.setText(t_init);


Also, setting the EditText property for horizontal scrolling seems to have no effect:

android:scrollHorizontally="false"

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

what about codetext += "\r\n"
