Answer 2

Change your xml to this

  <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/multiline_exdittext_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"  
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

<your.packagename.LinedEditText
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:inputType="textMultiLine"
    android:ems="10"
    android:id="@+id/edittxt_multilines"
    />

</LinearLayout>

Answer 3

Whats your mistake

Your custom class is public class LinedEditText extends EditText

1. Did you call this in your XML

Just Change your EditText Xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/multiline_exdittext_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <YOUR_PACKAGE_NAME.LinedEditText
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:inputType="textMultiLine"
        android:ems="10"
        android:id="@+id/edittxt_multilines"
        />

</LinearLayout>
