restrict edittext to single line

by

Use android:maxLines="1" and android:inputType="text"

You forgot the android:maxLines attribute. And refer for android:inputType With your example, below will give this result: 

<EditText 
    android:id="@+id/searchbox"  
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:maxLines="1"
    android:inputType="text"
    android:scrollHorizontally="true"
    android:ellipsize="end"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:layout_marginTop="2dp"
    android:drawablePadding="10dp"
    android:background="@drawable/edittext"
    android:drawableLeft="@drawable/folder_full"
    android:drawableRight="@drawable/search"
    android:paddingLeft="15dp"
    android:hint="search...">
</EditText>
