Implement validation for Android within only 3 steps. Developers should focus on their awesome code, and let the library do the boilerplate. And what's more, this could help keep your layout file clean.
- Declare validation style;
- Add validations;
- Set a point when to trigger validation.
// Step 1: designate a style
AwesomeValidation mAwesomeValidation = new AwesomeValidation(BASIC);
// or
AwesomeValidation mAwesomeValidation = new AwesomeValidation(COLORATION);
mAwesomeValidation.setColor(Color.YELLOW); // optional, default color is RED if not set
// or
AwesomeValidation mAwesomeValidation = new AwesomeValidation(UNDERLABEL);
mAwesomeValidation.setContext(this); // mandatory for UNDERLABEL style
// or
AwesomeValidation mAwesomeValidation = new AwesomeValidation(TEXT_INPUT_LAYOUT);
// Step 2: add validations
// support regex string, java.util.regex.Pattern and Guava#Range
// you can pass resource or string
mAwesomeValidation.addValidation(activity, R.id.edt_name, "[a-zA-Z\\s]+", R.string.err_name);
mAwesomeValidation.addValidation(activity, R.id.edt_tel, RegexTemplate.TELEPHONE, R.string.err_tel);
mAwesomeValidation.addValidation(activity, R.id.edt_email, android.util.Patterns.EMAIL_ADDRESS, R.string.err_email);
mAwesomeValidation.addValidation(activity, R.id.edt_year, Range.closed(1900, Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.YEAR)), R.string.err_year);
mAwesomeValidation.addValidation(activity, R.id.edt_height, Range.closed(0.0f, 2.72f), R.string.err_height);
// or
mAwesomeValidation.addValidation(editText, "regex", "Error info");
// to validate TextInputLayout, pass the TextInputLayout, not the embedded EditText
AwesomeValidation mAwesomeValidation = new AwesomeValidation(TEXT_INPUT_LAYOUT);
mAwesomeValidation.addValidation(activity, R.id.til_email, Patterns.EMAIL_ADDRESS, R.string.err_email);
// to validate the confirmation of another field
String regexPassword = "(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[\\d])(?=.*[~`!@#\\$%\\^&\\*\\(\\)\\-_\\+=\\{\\}\\[\\]\\|\\;:\"<>,./\\?]).{8,}";
mAwesomeValidation.addValidation(activity, R.id.edt_password, regexPassword, R.string.err_password);
// to validate a confirmation field (don't validate any rule other than confirmation on confirmation field)
mAwesomeValidation.addValidation(activity, R.id.edt_password_confirmation, R.id.edt_password, R.string.err_password_confirmation);
// Step 3: set a trigger
findViewById(R.id.btn_done).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
mAwesomeValidation.validate();
}
});
// Optional: remove validation failure information
findViewById(R.id.btn_clr).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
mAwesomeValidation.clear();
}
});
It works perfectly with Fragment, but please pay attention to Fragment's lifecycle. You should set the validate()
inside Fragment's onActivityCreated
instead of onCreateView
or any other early stage.
For Gradle it's so easy: just add below compile line to your module's build.gradle (it's available on JCenter).
dependencies {
compile 'com.basgeekball:awesome-validation:2.0'
}
- Update version number in build.gradle, gradle.properties and README
- Run
./gradlew clean build generateRelease
to generate release zip file - Run
./gradlew bintrayUpload
to create a new version in bintray - Upload release zip file manually to bintray, make sure to check 'Explode this archive'
