How should I validate an e-mail address in Android using Kotlin?.

This example demonstrates how to validate an e-mail address 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

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="match_parent"
   android:padding="8dp"
   tools:context=".MainActivity">
   <TextView
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
      android:layout_marginTop="50dp"
      android:text="Tutorials Point"
      android:textAlignment="center"
      android:textColor="@android:color/holo_green_dark"
      android:textSize="32sp"
      android:textStyle="bold" />
   <EditText
      android:id="@+id/editText"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:layout_centerInParent="true"
      android:hint="Enter Email Address" />
   <Button
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:layout_below="@id/editText"
      android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
      android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
      android:onClick="validateEmail"
      android:text="Validate" />
</RelativeLayout>

Step 3 − Add the following code to src/MainActivity.kt import android.

import android.os.Bundle
import android.view.View
import android.widget.EditText
import android.widget.Toast
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
   private lateinit var editText: EditText
   private lateinit var email: String
   private val emailPattern = "[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-z]+\\.+[a-z]+"
   override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
      title = "KotlinApp"
      editText = findViewById(R.id.editText)
      email = editText.text.toString().trim()
   }
   fun validateEmail(view: View?) {
      if (email.matches(emailPattern.toRegex())) {
         Toast.makeText(applicationContext, "Valid email address",
         Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
      } else {
         Toast.makeText(applicationContext, "Invalid email address",
         Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
      }
   }
}

Step 4 − Add the following code to androidManifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="app.com.q11">
   <application
      android:allowBackup="true"
      android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
      android:label="@string/app_name"
      android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
      android:supportsRtl="true"
      android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
      <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
         <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
         </intent-filter>
      </activity>
   </application>
</manifest>

Let's try to run your application. I assume you have connected your actual Android Mobile device with your computer. To run the app from android studio, open one of your project's activity files and click the Run icon from the toolbar. Select your mobile device as an option and then check your mobile device which will display your default screen
