        info = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.entry);
        anss = info.getText().toString();
        //String ans = Double.toString(res);
        double result = Double.parseDouble(anss);
        if (res == result){
        msg.setText("Correct");
        }else
        if (res != result){
            msg.setText("Incorrect");
            }else
        if (info.getText().toString().equals("")){
            msg.setText("Empty!");
            }

You can use this code to solve your problem.

    public void onClick(View v) {
            if (_text.getText().toString().equals(""))
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Empty BOX", 5000).show();
            else
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), _text.getText().toString(), 5000).show();

        }

Thats it.. Try this …it will works.
