You can allow users to enter text in an application via a text field. Tapping the text field activates the keypad and reveals a cursor. There are 2 types of text fields:

• Fixed single-line
• Multi-line

In a fixed single-line text field, if the amount of text a user is entering exceeds the text field range, the entered text scrolls to the left and disappears so that the user can continue writing. In a multi-line text field, the amount of text the user enters will dictate the number of lines.
