title: Android: Vertical alignment for multi line EditText (Text area)
body: <p>I want to have 5 lines for the height of the text area. I am using the following code.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;EditText
      android:layout_width="fill_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:gravity="center"
      android:singleLine="false"
      android:lines="5"
      android:layout_marginLeft="10dip"
      android:layout_marginRight="10dip" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The text area looks fine, but the problem is that the cursor is blinking in the middle of the text field. I want it to blink at first line, at the first character of the text field.</p>
