Android how to combine textMultiLine and actionNext in EditText

I just want to do something VERY simple:

If I have edit text, I want the max to be 5 lines of text high in the textbox height and I was such that when the user types something and then they press Enter or Next, I create for them a new line, but first I comment on something. that is -> if I want edit text that starts with:

1.

if the user types "hello" then the edit text will look like this:

1. hi

but now if the user then accesses "Enter" / "Next" then I want the text to be:

1. hi
2. 

      

        
        
        
      

    

where I automatically fill in "2." with a new line.

here's what my edit text looks like:

            <EditText
                android:id="@+id/something"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:maxLines="5"
                android:inputType="textMultiLine"
                android:imeOptions="actionNext"
                android:text="1. "/>

      

        
        
        
      

    

and of course I provide a custom editor for this EditText setOnEditorActionListener

like:

    editText.setOnEditorActionListener(new TextView.OnEditorActionListener() {
        private int mNumberOfLines = 1;
        @Override
        public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
            if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NEXT) {
                mNumberOfLines++;
                editText.setText(editText.getText() + "\n" + mNumberOfLines + ". ");
                editText.setSelection(editText.getText().length());
                return true;
            }

            return false;
        }
    });

      

        
        
        
      

    

.... Why doesn't it work? if i use text

instead textMultiLine

then editText doesn't recognize newlines. but if i use textMultiLine

then the key action for is IME_ACTION_NEXT

not recognized. WTF?
