How to do zip validation for Android

Navigation

I would like to know how do I validate a user-entered zip in an EditText on Android. Do I need any specific APIs? I want to validate if the zip is existing and return to the screen if it is not.

If you have the formula for validating the zip code at hand, you can do this in the class.

Capture your text using

TextView textoCEP = (TextView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.<suaEditText>);

Then, put in a String that text capturing it with a <sua editText>.getText(); You may need to use .toString(); because they usually return CharSequences .

If it's not that, it's something along those lines. I hope I can help you.

EDIT: So Validating ZIP codes is a bit tricky. You can check if the zip has the right number of digits, which are 8, and format it using a substring (Seen on the internet / not tested): 

        if (cep.Length == 8) {
            cep = cep.Substring(0, 5) + "-" + cep.Substring(5, 3);
        }

However, the final three digits indicate the state from where that ZIP code comes from. As it would be great to paste all the numbers here, it follows something similar in a forum that I saw in Google. It's not in Java, but you should get the idea: link
