Form Validation Example:
This is a Examle showing how to validat the data user entered
The form validation has done using the RegularExpressions
1.Create New Android Projet
2.Add the following data in the main_activity.xml
res/layout/main_activity.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Username" />
<EditText
android:id="@+id/editText1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ems="10" >
<requestFocus />
</EditText>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Password" />
<EditText
android:id="@+id/editText2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ems="10"
android:inputType="textPassword" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Email" />
<EditText
android:id="@+id/editText3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ems="10"
android:inputType="textEmailAddress" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/btnSubmit"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Submit" />
</LinearLayout>
3.Create The Activity Class For The xml File As Shown Below
package com.example.gurumurthy;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private static final Pattern EMAIL_PATTERN = Pattern
.compile("[a-zA-Z0-9+._%-+]{1,100}" + "@"
+ "[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9-]{0,10}" + "(" + "."
+ "[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9-]{0,20}"+
")+");
private static final Pattern USERNAME_PATTERN = Pattern
.compile("[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,250}");
private static final Pattern PASSWORD_PATTERN = Pattern
.compile("[a-zA-Z0-9+_.]{4,16}");
EditText usname;
EditText pword;
EditText email1;
Button btSubmit;
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Log.v("HELLO","ONCREATE");
usname = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
pword = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText2);
email1 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText3);
btSubmit = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnSubmit);
btSubmit.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
String username = usname.getText().toString();
String password = pword.getText().toString();
String email = email1.getText().toString();
if (username.equals("") || password.equals("")
|| email.equals("")) {
if (username.equals("")) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "ENTER USERNAME",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
if (password.equals("")) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "ENTER PASSWORD",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
if (email.equals("")) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "ENTER EMAIL ID",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
} else {
if (!CheckUsername(username)) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "ENTER VALID USERNAME",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
if (!CheckPassword(password)) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "ENTER VALID PASSWORD",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
if (!CheckEmail(email)) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "ENTER VALID EMAIL ID",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
}
private boolean CheckEmail(String email) {
return EMAIL_PATTERN.matcher(email).matches();
}
private boolean CheckPassword(String password) {
return PASSWORD_PATTERN.matcher(password).matches();
}
private boolean CheckUsername(String username) {
return USERNAME_PATTERN.matcher(username).matches();
}
});
}
}
4.After creating an Activity file Register the Activity File in the manifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.gurumurthy"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="17" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="com.example.gurumurthy.MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
