Multiple language issue in EditText Android

enter image description hereI am using 2 type edit text in my login page. In Arabic EditText gravity is END.But hint in EditText getting left align Why?. When i give inputType="textPassword" no issues. Issues in android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
EditText code given below
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="#string/userName"
android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
android:gravity="end"/>
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="#string/password"
android:inputType="textPassword"
android:gravity="end" />

Try removing :
android:gravity="end"
In the first EditText. It should automatically make the text RTL if you already placed arabic values-ar in values folder.
Don't forget to add:
android:supportsRtl="true"
In AndroidManifest.xml also.
Update;
Didn’t get you at first but, add these:
android:layoutDirection="rtl"
android:textDirection="rtl"
This will make the layout & text direction rtl and should help for the purpose.

Try with this
<EditText
android:id="#+id/username"
style="#style/Widget.EditText"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textAlignment="viewStart"
android:hint="#string/username"
android:layoutDirection="locale"
android:padding="10dip"
android:textDirection="locale" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/password"
style="#style/Widget.EditText"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textAlignment="viewStart"
android:hint="#string/password"
android:layoutDirection="locale"
android:padding="10dip"
android:textDirection="locale" />

Edittext View One line

Can someone point me on how to limit the edittext as one line only?
screenshot:
my xml:
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="Full Name"
android:id="#+id/textView_data2"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
android:maxLines="1"
android:gravity="fill_vertical" />

<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="Full Name"
android:scrollHorizontally="false"
android:id="#+id/textView_data2"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
android:maxLines="1"
android:inputType="textPersonName"
android:gravity="fill_vertical" />

Just add into your XML-File android:maxLines="1"

<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="Full Name"
android:id="#+id/textView_data2"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
android:inputType="text"
android:imeOption="actionNext"
android:gravity="fill_vertical" />
android:inputType="text"
android:imeOption="actionNext"
these two lines are the catch. you better use actionDon in imeOption
i.e.,
android:imeOption="actionDone"
use this and you are all good :)
P.S. there are multiple types of imeOption provided by android. We usually use these imeOptions for our softKeyboardInput where we need to change enter button of our keypad to anything else.
e.g., actionDone : DOne button
actionNext :Go to next editBox and etc,
These imeOption only works with inputType="text|number|..i.e. you need to specify a input type for using imeOption.
Hope it will help you :)

Set AutocompleteTextView hint in a single line with Ellipsize end

I want to set the hint of my AutocompleteTextView in a single line with extra string to be truncated with dots(...) in the end.
I am using singleLine="true", maxLines="1", ellipsize="end".
But still the hint is shown in two lines. Although The text is set to single line. But I need the hint should also need to shown in single line.
The Preview in Android Studio shows the hint in single line. But when I run it on Device it shows in 2 lines.(S5, Nexus-5, Nexus-6, J7).
I also want the imeOption should be always search. i.e. imeOptions="actionSearch" Hence I can't change it to actionNext.
Below is my XML Code:
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/liLaySearchMap"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:visibility="gone"
android:paddingLeft="10dp"
android:background="#color/cococo"
android:paddingRight="10dp">
<AutoCompleteTextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="#dimen/five_dp"
android:background="#color/white"
android:padding="#dimen/two_dp"
android:scrollHorizontally="true"
android:drawablePadding="#dimen/two_dp"
android:singleLine="true"
android:lines="1"
android:maxLines="1"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:textSize="#dimen/twelve_sp"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/ic_action_search"
android:inputType="text"
android:hint="A Very Long Hint Text Which Need To Be Tuncated At the End In Single Line"
android:id="#+id/edSearch"
android:imeOptions="actionSearch"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#+id/tvCancel"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvCancel"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_margin="#dimen/five_dp"
android:text="#string/cancel"
android:textSize="#dimen/twelve_sp"
android:textColor="#color/tw__composer_red"
android:padding="#dimen/five_dp"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"/>
</RelativeLayout>
Can Anyone Please en-curtain the issue I am facing. As I think I had used every possible solution but still the hint is not in single line.

these are screenshots on my Device and xml i tried is as follows
<AutoCompleteTextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
android:background="#color/white"
android:padding="2dp"
android:scrollHorizontally="true"
android:drawablePadding="2dp"
android:singleLine="true"
android:lines="1"
android:maxLines="1"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:textSize="16sp"
android:inputType="text"
android:drawableLeft="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:hint="A Very Long Hint Text Which Need To Be Tuncated At the End In Single Line"
android:id="#+id/edSearch"
android:imeOptions="actionSearch"/>
try Setting android:inputType="text" on the AutoCompleteTextView it worked for me
<AutoCompleteTextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:maxLines="1"
android:inputType="text"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:imeOptions="actionNext"
android:hint="this is to check if it's getting truncated and in single line or not"/>

Setting android:inputType="text" on the AutoCompleteTextView it worked for me, unlike android:ellipsize="end", the text did not stay with '...' on end, but it does meet expectations.

android:completionThreshold="1"

If you want only Numbers then it may help you
<EditText
android:id="#+id/phoneNoRegEdit"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
android:ems="15"
android:hint="Phone"

Can't focus EditText

I have a simple EditText inside my scrollview.
All the other elements are working just fine, however i won't get the usual EditText behaviour on click (Keyboard doesn't appear, I can't write).
Here's my xml for the field.
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/enterWishprice"
android:background="#drawable/edit_back"
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
android:text="0 F€"
android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
android:textSize="26dp"
android:inputType="number"
android:layout_margin="10dp" />
As you can see I already tried setting focusable/inTouchMode.
I also tried setting a click listener on the field to manually open the keyboard which works just fine. However I still can't type anything into the field.
After that i tried using requestFocus in the clicklistener without any result.
Furthermore I tried clearFocus on the EditText as well as the surrounding ScrollView - also not working.
Hopefully you can give me a hint cause I'm out of ideas..
Thanks in advance!

The attribute Enabled must be set to true.
<EditText
android:id="#+id/room_message"
android:layout_width="164dp"
android:layout_height="46dp"
android:clickable="true"
android:ems="10"
android:enabled="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
android:hint="#string/prompt_message"
android:inputType="textPersonName"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:textSize="18sp"
android:textStyle="italic"
/>
But i have got another problem where the EditText won't lose focus....

try like this
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/enterWishprice"
android:background="#drawable/edit_back"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
android:text="0 F€"
android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
android:textSize="26dp"
android:inputType="number"
android:layout_margin="10dp">
<requestFocus />
</EditText>
