Property setter documentation:

Set the type of the content with a constant as defined for EditorInfo#inputType. This will take care of changing the key listener, by calling #setKeyListener(KeyListener), to match the given content type. If the given content type is EditorInfo#TYPE_NULL then a soft keyboard will not be displayed for this text view.

Note that the maximum number of displayed lines (see #setMaxLines(int)) will be modified if you change the EditorInfo#TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_MULTI_LINE flag of the input type.
