Android: Validate Phone Number Length by COUNTRY


How can we validate the length of a mobile number by COUNTRY? (Knowing that the country code might or might not be part of the number)

Length may vary per country, meaning there should be a length range or pattern validator.

Example:

Note: Any idea where can I find each country's mobile number length range.

Thank you!


Solution

  • Given the mobile number and the country code, you can use libphonenumeer which is a Google library for validating phone numbers; it checks the number length and catches NumberParseException exception if it is not a right number.

    This is their sample in how to use it

    String swissNumberStr = "044 668 18 00";
    PhoneNumberUtil phoneUtil = PhoneNumberUtil.getInstance();
    try {
      PhoneNumber swissNumberProto = phoneUtil.parse(swissNumberStr, "CH");
    } catch (NumberParseException e) {
      System.err.println("NumberParseException was thrown: " + e.toString());
    }
