I have an EditText in android for users to input their AGE. It is set an inputType=phone. I would like to know if there is a way to check if this EditText is null.
I've already looked at this question: Check if EditText is empty. but it does not address the case where inputType=phone.
These, I've checked already and do not work:
(EditText) findViewByID(R.id.age)).getText().toString() == null
(EditText) findViewByID(R.id.age)).getText().toString() == ""
(EditText) findViewByID(R.id.age)).getText().toString().matches("")
(EditText) findViewByID(R.id.age)).getText().toString().equals("")
(EditText) findViewByID(R.id.age)).getText().toString().equals(null)
(EditText) findViewByID(R.id.age)).getText().toString().trim().length() == 0
(EditText) findViewByID(R.id.age)).getText().toString().trim().equals("")
and isEmpty do not check for blank space.
Thank you for your help.
You can check using the TextUtils class like
TextUtils.isEmpty(ed_text);
or you can check like this:
EditText ed = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.age);
String ed_text = ed.getText().toString().trim();
if(ed_text.isEmpty() || ed_text.length() == 0 || ed_text.equals("") || ed_text == null)
{
//EditText is empty
}
else
{
//EditText is not empty
}
First Method
Use TextUtil library
if(TextUtils.isEmpty(editText.getText().toString())
{
Toast.makeText(this, "plz enter your name ", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return;
}
Second Method
private boolean isEmpty(EditText etText)
{
return etText.getText().toString().trim().length() == 0;
}
