Try :

edittext.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {

    public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before,
            int count) {

               if(!edittext.getText().toString().contains("@")) {
                     edittext.setError("@ not detected");
                 }
    }


    public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count,
            int after) {

    }

    public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {

    }
});

If you want something that the id should start with @ then can use this pattern : ^@.*

You can blank validation by using TextUtils.isEmpty(slackId.getText().toString())

This will check if text is null or empty

You can make a validation like

if(!slackId.getText().toString().contains("@")){}

In your code you did validation like

if(String.valueOf(slackId.getText().toString().charAt(0)).equals("@")) {
                    slackId.setError("Slack id cannot be blank");
                }

this will not validate weather is contains @ or not.

do this:

if(!slackId.getText().toString().contains("@")){
  //show your error message here
}

Hope it will help you!!

You can use this as its better than using textChange listener for your case to check the text edit after losing focus , which will give you the needed validation without submitting .

EditText ed= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edittxt);

 ed.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {          
        @Override
        public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
            if (!hasFocus && !ed.getText().toString().contains("@")) {
               ed.setError("@ not detected")
            }
        }
    });
