you can use a regex. http://www.regular-expressions.info/email.html — Raghunandan, May 29 '13 at 10:59

refer to this how to check edittext's text is email address or not?

I quote the most ticked answer, which i believe it is the most elegant.

On Android 2.2+ use this:

boolean isEmailValid(CharSequence email) {
   return android.util.Patterns.EMAIL_ADDRESS.matcher(email).matches();
}

You can use regular expression (Regex) to check the email pattern.

Pattern pattern1 = Pattern.compile( "^([a-zA-Z0-9_.-])+@([a-zA-Z0-9_.-])+\\.([a-zA-Z])+([a-zA-Z])+");

Matcher matcher1 = pattern1.matcher(Email);

if (!matcher1.matches()) {
    //show your message if not matches with email pattern
}

Following this article

Method-1) Following works for android 2.2 onwards

    public final static boolean isValidEmail(CharSequence target) {
    if (target == null) {
        return false;
    } else {
        return android.util.Patterns.EMAIL_ADDRESS.matcher(target).matches();
    }
}

Method-2) Using Regular Expressions and adding the validation to textChangeListener of EditText:

 EdiText emailValidate;
String email = emailValidate.getEditableText().toString().trim();
String emailPattern = "[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-z]+\\.+[a-z]+";

emailValidate .addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() { 
    public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) { 

    if (email.matches(emailPattern) && s.length() > 0)
        { 
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"valid email address",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            // or
            textView.setText("valid email");
        }
        else
        {
             Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Invalid email address",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            //or
            textView.setText("invalid email");
        }
    } 
    public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {
    // other stuffs 
    } 
    public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
    // other stuffs 
    } 
});

Method-3

    public static boolean isEmailValid(String email) {
    boolean isValid = false;

    String expression = "^[\\w\\.-]+@([\\w\\-]+\\.)+[A-Z]{2,4}$";
    CharSequence inputStr = email;

    Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(expression, Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE);
    Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(inputStr);
    if (matcher.matches()) {
        isValid = true;
    }
    return isValid;
}

Method-4

if (!emailRegistration.matches("[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-z]+.[a-z]+")) {

                       edttextEmail.setError("Invalid Email Address");

                   }

Pass Email id in it:-

      public static boolean emailAddressValidator(String emailId) {
    Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("\\w+([-+.]\\w+)*" + "\\@"
            + "\\w+([-.]\\w+)*" + "\\." + "\\w+([-.]\\w+)*");

    Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(emailId);
    if (matcher.matches())
        return true;
    else
        return false;
}

Pass EditText to this method this will return true if E-mail address is valid else it will return false

/**
 * method is used for checking valid email id format.
 * 
 * @param email
 * @return boolean true for valid false for invalid
 */
public static boolean isEmailAddressValid(String email) {
    boolean isEmailValid = false;

    String strExpression = "^[\\w\\.-]+@([\\w\\-]+\\.)+[A-Z]{2,4}$";
    CharSequence inputStr = email;

    Pattern objPattern = Pattern.compile(strExpression , Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE);
    Matcher objMatcher = objPattern .matcher(inputStr);
    if (objMatcher .matches()) {
        isEmailValid = true;
    }
    return isEmailValid ;
}

Here is very good link for Android form edit text is an extension of EditText that brings data validation facilities to the edittext.

It provides the custom validation for edit-text values (Example- Email,number,phone,credit card etc.) May this is useful to you..

You can use blow expression also:

^[\\w\\.-]+@([\\w\\-]+\\.)+[A-Z]{2,3}$
