add postfix to url in autocompletetextview

Question

I have an autocompletetextview used for opening urls in webview. I want to automatically add ".com" as postfix to urls which does not have any extensions like .com, .tv, .co.in, etc. But problem is how to check if there is already an extension present in the url entered. I searched for it and found this post, but it only checked for particular known extensions. I want to check if any extension is there or not. If extension present then opens the url if not then adds ".com" as postfix to url.

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity  implements AdvancedWebView.Listener {

    private AdvancedWebView mWebView;
    private AutoCompleteTextView urlEditText;


    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        urlEditText = (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.urlField);
        mWebView = (AdvancedWebView) findViewById(R.id.webView);
        mWebView.setListener(this, this);
        mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
        mWebView.setGeolocationEnabled(false);
        mWebView.setMixedContentAllowed(true);
        mWebView.setCookiesEnabled(true);
        mWebView.setThirdPartyCookiesEnabled(true);
        mWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {

            @Override
            public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView v, String url){

                v.loadUrl(url);

                return true;
            }

            @Override
            public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
                //Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Finished loading", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }

        });
        mWebView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient() {

            @Override
            public void onReceivedTitle(WebView view, String title) {
                super.onReceivedTitle(view, title);
                Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, title, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }

        });
        mWebView.addHttpHeader("X-Requested-With", "");



        Button openUrl = (Button) findViewById(R.id.goButton);
        openUrl.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {

                InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);


                String url = urlEditText.getText().toString();

                if(!url.contains("http://www."))
                    url = "http://www." + url;

               
                // Here should be the code to check for extensions

                try{
                    mWebView.loadUrl(url);
                    urlEditText.setText(mWebView.getUrl());
                    imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(urlEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);
                }catch(Exception e)
                {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }



            }


        });
    }

    @SuppressLint("NewApi")

  /*final String filename = UUID.randomUUID().toString();
  if (AdvancedWebView.handleDownload(this, url, filename)) {

  }

I used a simple method to validate the url and return true/false value. If url is valid then open url as it is. If url is invalid add ".com" to url and then open.

In onCreate use methos like this: 

if(isURL(url)){

            try{
                mWebView.loadUrl(url);
                urlEditText.setText(mWebView.getUrl());
                imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(urlEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);
            }catch(Exception e)
            {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

        }else{
            url = url + ".com";

            try{
                mWebView.loadUrl(url);
                urlEditText.setText(mWebView.getUrl());
                imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(urlEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);
            }catch(Exception e)
            {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }

Method to check if url is valid:

public boolean isURL(String url)
{

         if(Patterns.WEB_URL.matcher(url).matches()){
             return true;
         }else{
             return false;
         }

}
