You can check it with utility method  isEmpty  from TextUtils   isEmpty CharSequence str  method check both condition  for null and length   public static boolean isEmpty CharSequence str         if  str    null    str length      0          return true       else         return false

Use TextUtils isEmpty  someString   String myString   null   if  TextUtils isEmpty myString         return     or break  continue  throw       myString is neither null nor empty if this point is reached Log i  quot TAG quot   myString    Notes  The documentation states that both null and zero length are checked for  No need to reinvent the wheel here  A good practice to follow is early return

My simple solution to test if a string is null   if  s equals  null                There are two cases   The variable  of type String  is null doesn t exists      works   The variable has a null value    equals  null   gives te right boolean value   See the picture

Yo can check it with this   if userEmail    null  amp  amp   userEmail  isEmpty      And remember you must use from exact above code with that order  Because that ensuring you will not get a null pointer exception from userEmail isEmpty   if userEmail is null   Above description  it s only available since Java SE 1 6  Check userEmail length      0 on previous versions    UPDATE   Use from isEmpty stringVal  method from TextUtils class   if  TextUtils isEmpty userEmail     Kotlin   Use from isNullOrEmpty for null or empty values OR isNullOrBlank for null or empty or consists solely of whitespace characters   if  userEmail isNullOrEmpty        if  userEmail isNullOrBlank

All you can do is to call equals   method on empty String literal and pass the object you are testing as shown below     String nullString   null   String empty   new String     boolean test      equals empty      true   System out println test     boolean check      equals nullString      false   System out println check
