Android Studio MultiLineText text moving upwards
Hi I am going through a training from Google and I have an issue with the MultiLine TextView.
Everytime when I code the example myself when I press enter on my phone to create a new line the text entered moves upwards why is this the case ?
Here is the code from the example that Google provides.

As you can see in the picture the Multiline Text View somehow moves upwards instead of downwards. When I implement it on my own and use the inputType:"textMultiLine". How come this issue is caused as well as why ?
Solution
The view editTextTextMultiLine keep changing its position cause of its constraint attribute . Your design view -
You can constraint layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf of your RadioGroup . Suppose define a ID of radiogroup then use constraint value of editTextTextMultiLine as below -
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@id/radiogroup"
