Fit text into an EditText Android

Question

I´m using an EditText to put a specific text with editText.setText(string) , I'm trying to match the height of EditText to the lines of my String, but I can´t.

If I take my EditText and write normal, it works well, but I need to put the text with setText() .

Can someone help me?

            <EditText
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:singleLine="false"
                android:id="@+id/text_description"
                android:maxLength="500"
                android:focusableInTouchMode="false"
                android:layout_weight="0" />

In your XML file set the android:layout_height attribute to wrap_content like this :

<EditText
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   ...../>
