I am in need to give validation on my EditText such that it allows me to enter a valid
ip address format ( ?.?.?.? ) ie example 132.0.25.225
or
web url format ( www.?.? ) ie example www.example.com
logic is that if user type any numeric value first then validation(IP) will do action
else user must write "www" before any web String
Note: it must perform onKeyListener() of EditText, i mean while user giving input
In short - I am not going to check when user completes input and press OK button
Any idea appreciated,
Thanks.
ip
private static final String PATTERN =
"^([01]?\\d\\d?|2[0-4]\\d|25[0-5])\\." +
"([01]?\\d\\d?|2[0-4]\\d|25[0-5])\\." +
"([01]?\\d\\d?|2[0-4]\\d|25[0-5])\\." +
"([01]?\\d\\d?|2[0-4]\\d|25[0-5])$";
public static boolean validate(final String ip){
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(PATTERN);
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(ip);
return matcher.matches();
}
url
try {
new java.net.URI(url);
} catch(MalformedURLException e) {
// url badly formed
}
try this ..
public void checkIP(String Value)
{
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("[0-255].[0-255].[0-255].[0-255]");
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(Value);
boolean IPcheck = matcher.matches();
if(IPcheck)
//it is IP
else
//it is not IP
}
This ione works perfectly for me for checking url in android
if (!URLUtil.isValidUrl(url)) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Invalid URL", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return;
}
Add a TextWatcher to your EditText and in the
afterTextChanged (Editable s)
Validate the input using a regex and if the input character doesn't match the regex, simply delete it using the following method.
Editable.delete(int start, int end)
Here a different solution for an IP address validation but that could be used as reference also for a web url validation.
EditText ipText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.ip_address);
ipText.setKeyListener(IPAddressKeyListener.getInstance());
.........
public class IPAddressKeyListener extends NumberKeyListener {
private char[] mAccepted;
private static IPAddressKeyListener sInstance;
@Override
protected char[] getAcceptedChars() {
return mAccepted;
}
/**
* The characters that are used.
*
* @see KeyEvent#getMatch
* @see #getAcceptedChars
*/
private static final char[] CHARACTERS =
new char[] { '0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', '.' };
private IPAddressKeyListener() {
mAccepted = CHARACTERS;
}
/**
* Returns a IPAddressKeyListener that accepts the digits 0 through 9, plus
* the dot character, subject to IP address rules: the first character has
* to be a digit, and no more than 3 dots are allowed.
*/
public static IPAddressKeyListener getInstance() {
if (sInstance != null)
return sInstance;
sInstance = new IPAddressKeyListener();
return sInstance;
}
/**
* Display a number-only soft keyboard.
*/
public int getInputType() {
return InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER | InputType.TYPE_NUMBER_FLAG_DECIMAL;
}
/**
* Filter out unacceptable dot characters.
*/
@Override
public CharSequence filter(CharSequence source, int start, int end, Spanned dest, int dstart, int dend) {
if (end > start) {
String destTxt = dest.toString();
String resultingTxt = destTxt.substring(0, dstart)
+ source.subSequence(start, end)
+ destTxt.substring(dend);
if (!resultingTxt.matches("^\\d{1,3}(\\.(\\d{1,3}(\\.(\\d{1,3}(\\.(\\d{1,3})?)?)?)?)?)?")) {
return "";
} else {
String[] splits = resultingTxt.split("\\.");
for (int i = 0; i < splits.length; i++) {
if (Integer.valueOf(splits[i]) > 255) {
return "";
}
}
}
}
return null;
}
}
should use java.net.InetAddress class. you can check for all formarts of IP address: host address (eg: 132.0.25.225) or host name (eg: www.google.com);
IPv4 or IPv6 format is ok.
Source code should run on work thread, because sometime InetAddress.getAllByName(mStringHost) take long time. for example: you get address from host name.
Thread mThread = new Thread(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
try {
String mStringHost = "www.google.com";
//String mStringHost = "192.168.1.2";
InetAddress[] list_address = InetAddress.getAllByName(mStringHost);
if(list_address != null && list_address.length >=1){
InetAddress inetAddress = list_address[0];
Log.d("test","inetAddress ="+ inetAddress.getHostAddress());
if( inetAddress instanceof Inet4Address){
//IPv4 process
}else{
//IPv6 process
}
}else{
throw new Exception("invalid address");
}
}catch(Exception e){
Log.e(TAG,"other exception",e);
Toast.makeText(context, "Invalid host address or host name", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
//process invalide ip address here
}
}
});
mThread.start()
