Question

I am Planning to implement a form validation in android. I have done empty field validation using the below code.(for Edit Text mTitleText )

---

mTitleText.setOnFocusChangeListener(this);

@Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
  if( mTitleText.getText().toString().length() == 0 )     
    mTitleText .setError( "This Fieid should not be empty " );
  }
} 

---

But the problem is that even when the form page is opened it shows error due to empty field.
Seethe picture. Is there any thing other than onfocus change that i can use?

Answer 1

set

mTitleText.setVisible(View.GONE);

at form page load (means onResume)

and update it

@Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {

 if( mTitleText.getText().toString().length() == 0 )     
    mTitleText .setError( "This Fieid should not be empty " );
    mTitleText.setVisible(View.VISIBLE);}
