How to verify email input in android settings

How can I verify a user enters email address in a EditTextPreference for android setting ?

Solution

  • By the way, You can use inputType in EditText to validate the input as email by the system!

    <EditText
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
    android:ems="10"
    android:id="@+id/editText" />

    You can use the default utility to validate!

     boolean isEmailValid(CharSequence email) {
            return android.util.Patterns.EMAIL_ADDRESS.matcher(email)
                    .matches();
