Edittext android not showing new line on keyboard

The classic issue!

When an EditText is focused and the keyboard is displayed, it can be tricky to get the new line to appear correctly. Here are a few possible solutions:

Use android:inputType="textMultiLine": Make sure you have this attribute set in your EditText XML declaration:
```
<EditText
...
 android:inputType="textMultiLine"
... />
```
This will allow the user to enter multiple lines of text.
Use android:lines="1": If you want to allow only a single line of text, you can set android:lines="1":
```
<EditText
...
 android:lines="1"
... />
```
This will prevent the user from entering multiple lines of text.
Use android:imeOptions="actionNext": If you're using a custom keyboard, you might need to set android:imeOptions="actionNext" to ensure that the new line is displayed:
```
<EditText
...
 android:imeOptions="actionNext"
... />
```
Check your keyboard settings: Make sure that the keyboard is set to allow new lines. On some devices, the keyboard settings might be hidden or require a specific gesture to access.

Use a custom EditText with a TextWatcher: If none of the above solutions work, you can try creating a custom EditText class that overrides the onTextChanged method to insert a new line character (\n) when the user presses the "Enter" key:

public class CustomEditText extends EditText {
 public CustomEditText(Context context) {
     super(context);
 }

 @Override
 public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
     if (s.length() > 0 && s.charAt(s.length() - 1) == '\n') {
         // Insert a new line character
         s = s.subSequence(0, s.length() - 1) + "\n";
         setText(s);
     }
 }
}

Then, use this custom EditText in your layout:

<com.example.CustomEditText
...
... />

I hope one of these solutions helps you get the new line to appear correctly in your EditText!
