Question

Anybody knows how to prevent an Android application crashing when ab EditText has no value in it?

EDIT: Sorry, I posted this with my phone. Here you go:

import java.util.Random;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.hardware.Sensor;
import android.hardware.SensorEvent;
import android.hardware.SensorEventListener;
import android.hardware.SensorManager;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class RandomButtonActivity extends Activity implements SensorEventListener
{
    public float x = 0, y = 0, z = 0;           
    public float a = 10, b = 10, c = 10;
    public float k = 4;
    public int j = 0, i = 0;
    public int rand = 0;
    public String j1;
    public String i1;


    TextView testo;
    TextView ultimo;

    EditText limiteMin;
    EditText limiteMax;

    Random generator = new Random();

    SensorManager sm;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        testo = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
        ultimo = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView4);

        limiteMin = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText2);
        limiteMax = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.EditText01);

        sm = (SensorManager) getSystemService(Context.SENSOR_SERVICE);
        sm.registerListener(this, sm.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER), SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_NORMAL);

        random();
    }

    public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event)
    {
        x = event.values[0];
        y = event.values[1];
        z = event.values[2];        

        if(x>a+k || x<a-k || y>b+k || y<b-k || z>c+k || z<c-k)
        {
            rand = random();
        }
        a = x;
        b = y;
        c = z;
    }

    public int random() 
    {
        j = Integer.parseInt(limiteMin.getText().toString());
        i = Integer.parseInt(limiteMax.getText().toString());
        int v = 0;

            if(i==0 && j==0)
            {
                v = generator.nextInt();                       
            }
            else if(j>=i && j!=0)
            {               
                v = 0;
            }           
            else
            {
                i = i+1;
                do
                {
                v = generator.nextInt(i);
                testo.setText("Random: "+v);
                }
                while(v<j);
            }
            testo.setText("Random: "+v);   
            ultimo.setText("Random precedente: "+rand);

        return v;
    }

    public void onAccuracyChanged(Sensor sensor, int accuracy) 
    {
    }
}

The program crashes only when 1 of 2 EditTexts is empty and the method random() is called.

Apply following code,

  EditText et= (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText);
  if(et.getText.toString.equals(null) || et.getText.toString.equals(""))
   {
       Toast.makeText(this,"please enter something in text box",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); 
   }
