Question

Ok so I only have a EditText field and a button, which when pressed triggers an AsyncTask.

EditText playerName = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.playerEditText);

if(playerName.getText().toString().length() == 0 )
    playerName.setError("Player name is required!");
else {
    // do async task
}

The problem is that the error message seems to stay up even after when I input valid text to search. Is there a way to remove the error as soon as the EditText is not empty?

Answer 1

In your else bracket, put playerName.setError(null), which will clear the error.
