editText field is required before moving on to another Activity

Question

I have validation for editText. If the editText field is empty it should fail validation and stop the user moving on to another Activity,

Answer 1

I understand it's an old question but may this helps, you can use .isEmpty() instead of .equals()

if( userName.getText().toString().isEmpty()){

   /**
    *   You can Toast a message here that the Username is Empty    
    **/

   userName.setError( "First name is required!" );

}else{
   Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Login.class);
   startActivity(i);
}
