Why does the EditText in the XML below appear as a single-line
EditText in my application but appear as a multiple-line EditText in
the Eclipse layout preview? Please see screenshots. I would like for
the EditText to take up three-fourths of the dialog I am trying to
create.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

XML for dialog with EditText and two buttons:

<LinearLayout
   android:orientation="vertical"
   android:layout_width="fill_parent"
   android:layout_height="fill_parent"
   xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; >

   <LinearLayout
      android:orientation="vertical"
      android:layout_width="fill_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:layout_weight="3" >

      <EditText
         android:id="@+id/ComposeNote_editTextComposeNote"
         android:layout_width="fill_parent"
         android:layout_height="fill_parent"
         android:layout_marginLeft="5px"
         android:layout_marginRight="5px"
         android:layout_marginTop="5px" />

   </LinearLayout>

   <LinearLayout
      android:orientation="horizontal"
      android:layout_width="fill_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:layout_weight="1" >

      <Button
         android:id="@+id/ComposeNote_buttonCancel"
         android:layout_width="wrap_content"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         android:layout_weight="1"
         android:text="Cancel" />

      <Button
         android:id="@+id/ComposeNote_buttonLeaveNote"
         android:layout_width="wrap_content"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         android:layout_weight="2"
         android:text="Leave Note" />

   </LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>

How can this XML be changed to make the EditText appear as a multiple-
line dialog in my application?
