Answer 1

For empty text field you can use following method :

-(BOOL) emptyCheck:(NSString *)textFieldtext
{
    return [[textFieldtext stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceCharacterSet]]count]<=0;
}

for email you can use NSRegularExpression class and specify regEx format for email.

Thanks

Use the follwing code for email validation:-

NSString *emailRegEx = @"[A-Z0-9a-z._%+-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}";
        NSPredicate *emailTest = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"SELF MATCHES %@", emailRegEx];
        //Valid email address
        if ([emailTest evaluateWithObject:textField.text] == YES) 
        {
}
else {
            UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"E-Mail Field Not In proper Format"  message:nil delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil,nil];
            [alert show];
            [alert release];

        }
