To perform Email Validation we have many ways,but simple & easiest way are two methods.
1- Using EditText(....).addTextChangedListener
which keeps triggering on every input in an EditText box
i.e email_id is invalid or valid
/**
* Email Validation ex:- [email protected]
*/
final EditText emailValidate = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.textMessage);
final TextView textView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.text);
String email = emailValidate.getText().toString().trim();
String emailPattern = "[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-z]+\\.+[a-z]+";
emailValidate .addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
if (email.matches(emailPattern) && s.length() > 0)
{
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"valid email address",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
// or
textView.setText("valid email");
}
else
{
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Invalid email address",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
//or
textView.setText("invalid email");
}
}
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {
// other stuffs
}
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
// other stuffs
}
});
2- Simplest method using if-else
condition. Take the EditText box string using getText() and compare with pattern provided for email. If pattern doesn't match or macthes, onClick of button toast a message. It ll not trigger on every input of an character in EditText box . simple example shown below.
final EditText emailValidate = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.textMessage);
final TextView textView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.text);
String email = emailValidate.getText().toString().trim();
String emailPattern = "[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-z]+\\.+[a-z]+";
// onClick of button perform this simplest code.
if (email.matches(emailPattern))
{
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"valid email address",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
else
{
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Invalid email address", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
