You can try by adding following attributes in your EditText. Missing property in you code is textShortMessage. So you can try by adding same.

    android:inputType="textShortMessage|textAutoCorrect|textCapSentences|textMultiLine"
    android:imeOptions="actionSend|flagNoEnterAction"

You just have to add imeOption textShortMessage.

<EditText
  ... // some layout params             
  android:inputType="textShortMessage|textCapSentences|textAutoCorrect|textAutoComplete"/>
