android phone number invalid address

Question

In android phone if we enter the phone number as English alphabet (eg agchge) it says invalid address. If I enter English alphabet+some numbers(eg 232as55) it accepts.

Please let me know what are the rules to check the entered phone number is acceptable by the android platform?.

May be you regular expression is in another format which does not satisfies your requirement.

so try this

 String PHN_PATTERN = "^[+]?[-)(0-9]{3,20}$";
 String strphnvalue = resPhone.getText().toString();
 if(!(strphnvalue.equals("")))
 {
   if(!(strphnvalue.matches(PHN_PATTERN))) {               
      Toast.makeText(register.this,resource.getString(R.string.validphn), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
      }
 }

Note:=>its give exact result. otherwise change this regular expression according to your requirement

My question is not related to the format of the phone number. But on how the android platform accepts and rejects the phone numbers.example it rejects "abcdef" and accepts "12abcd456" — user1123931, Jul 23 '12 at 13:25
