Question

I am an android Beginner,

I tried this code

        boolean b=true;

        String MOBILE_PATTERN = "[(,),-][0-9]{10,16}";    // ddm validating

       pattern = Pattern.compile(MOBILE_PATTERN);  
       matcher = pattern.matcher(cellph.getText().toString());  
       if (!matcher.matches()) { 


           cellph.requestFocus();
         b=false;
       }  
       else{

           b=true;
       }         
       return b;
}

Best trick I found,set android:inputType="number" in xml, it won't allow user to enter any special character like @, #% at all. – shaby Feb 03 '16 at 10:45
