How to Check Edittext's Text Is Email Address or Not

How to check edittext's text is email address or not?

/**
 * method is used for checking valid email id format.
 * 
 * @param email
 * @return boolean true for valid false for invalid
 */
public static boolean isEmailValid(String email) {
    String expression = "^[\\w\\.-]+@([\\w\\-]+\\.)+[A-Z]{2,4}$";
    Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(expression, Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE);
    Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(email);
    return matcher.matches();
}

Pass your edit text string in this function .

for right email verification you need server side authentication

Note there is now a built-in method in Android, see answers below.

Validate an email inside an EditText

Just change your regular expression as follows:

"[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-z]+\\.+[a-z]+"

Because . (dot) means match any single-char.ADD a double backslash before your dot to stand for a real dot.

Email Address Validation in Android on EditText

To perform Email Validation we have many ways,but simple & easiest way are two methods.

1- Using EditText(....).addTextChangedListener which keeps triggering on every input in an EditText box i.e email_id is invalid or valid

/**
 * Email Validation ex:- tech@end.com
*/

final EditText emailValidate = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.textMessage); 

final TextView textView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.text); 

String email = emailValidate.getText().toString().trim();

String emailPattern = "[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-z]+\\.+[a-z]+";

emailValidate .addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() { 
    public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) { 

    if (email.matches(emailPattern) && s.length() > 0)
        { 
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"valid email address",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            // or
            textView.setText("valid email");
        }
        else
        {
             Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Invalid email address",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            //or
            textView.setText("invalid email");
        }
    } 
    public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {
    // other stuffs 
    } 
    public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
    // other stuffs 
    } 
}); 

2- Simplest method using if-else condition. Take the EditText box string using getText() and compare with pattern provided for email. If pattern doesn't match or macthes, onClick of button toast a message. It ll not trigger on every input of an character in EditText box . simple example shown below.

final EditText emailValidate = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.textMessage); 

final TextView textView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.text); 

String email = emailValidate.getText().toString().trim();

String emailPattern = "[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-z]+\\.+[a-z]+";

// onClick of button perform this simplest code.
if (email.matches(emailPattern))
{
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"valid email address",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
else 
{
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Invalid email address", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

Email validation on EditText - Android

We have a simple Email pattern matcher now

Java:

 private static boolean isValidEmail(String email) {
        return !TextUtils.isEmpty(email) && android.util.Patterns.EMAIL_ADDRESS.matcher(email).matches();
    }

Kotlin Function:

 private fun isValidEmail(email: String): Boolean {
        return !TextUtils.isEmpty(email) && Patterns.EMAIL_ADDRESS.matcher(email).matches()
    }

Kotlin Extension:

fun String.isValidEmail() =
    !TextUtils.isEmpty(this) && Patterns.EMAIL_ADDRESS.matcher(this).matches()

Check if text is an Email address in android

Use a regular expression to parse the text for the email pattern
http://www.regular-expressions.info/email.html

\b[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}\b

identifying Email from edittext Android

It's extremely complicated to validate an email address. That article suggests that you simply try sending an email to the address, which doesn't exactly fit your use case, but think along those lines. Maybe do a crude validation, like testing whether the field contains @, and if it does, try to use it as an email.

How should I validate an e-mail address?

Don't use a reg-ex.

Apparently the following is a reg-ex that correctly validates most e-mails addresses that conform to RFC 2822, (and will still fail on things like "user@gmail.com.nospam", as will org.apache.commons.validator.routines.EmailValidator)

(?:[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*|"(?:[\x01-\x08\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x1f\x21\x23-\x5b\x5d-\x7f]|\\[\x01-\x09\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x7f])*")@(?:(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\.)+[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?|\[(?:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.){3}(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?|[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9]:(?:[\x01-\x08\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x1f\x21-\x5a\x53-\x7f]|\\[\x01-\x09\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x7f])+)\])

Possibly the easiest way to validate an e-mail to just send a confirmation e-mail to the address provided and it it bounces then it's not valid.

If you want to perform some basic checks you could just check that it's in the form *@*

If you have some business logic specific validation then you could perform that using a regex, e.g. must be a gmail.com account or something.
