How can i validate edittext input in android using kotlin?


Asked by Julius Vargas on Nov 29, 2021 Android



This example demonstrates how to validate EditText input in Android using Kotlin. Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project. Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml. Step 3 − Add the following code to src/MainActivity.kt
Besides,
Android EditText in Kotlin. Last Updated : 18 Feb, 2021. EditText is used to get input from the user. EditText is commonly used in forms and login or registration screens. Following steps are used to create EditText in Kotlin: Add a EditText in activity_main.xml file. Add a Button in activity_main.xml file.
Also, In Android, EditText is a subclass of TextView which is configured to be editable. EditText is used for giving textual input such as characters, strings, numbers, etc. It has no limitation on the type of input unless explicitly attributed. Meaning we can attribute the EditText to accept only a string or a number.
Subsequently,
Note the definition of the Kotlin lambda function afterTextChanged. It takes a string and doesn’t need a return value. This simplifies my original example to the following: This is much improved already, but I still have duplicated code. My validator is a lambda (or function) that takes a string and returns a boolean.
Similarly,
Navigate to the app > res > layout > activity_main.xml and add the below code to that file. Below is the code for the activity_main.xml file. Add EditText with inputType as a number in the layout. Go to the MainActivity.kt file and refer to the following code.
