Editext field will not validate your email only by setting it's input method to email type.

You need to validate it yourself.

Try this:

you can modify the regex as per your need. Add your characters, special chars which you want to include....or you can remove which you think should not be there...... – Vineet Shukla Sep 13 '11 at 06:26

You can do any type of validation in android very easily by the oval.jar file. OVal is a pragmatic and extensible general purpose validation framework for any kind of Java objects.

follow this link: http://oval.sourceforge.net/userguide.html

You can downlaod this from here: http://oval.sourceforge.net/userguide.html#download

You can use validation by setting tags in variables

public class Something{

    @NotEmpty  //not empty validation
    @Email     //email validation
    @SerializedName("emailAddress")
    private String emailAddress;
}

   private void checkValidation() {
        Something forgotpass.setEmailAddress(LoginActivity.this.dialog_email.getText().toString());
        Validator validator = new Validator();
        //collect the constraint violations
        List<ConstraintViolation> violations = validator.validate(forgotpass);
        if(violations.size()>0){
            for (ConstraintViolation cv : violations){
                if(cv.getMessage().contains("emailAddress")){
                    dialog_email.setError(ValidationMessage.formattedError(cv.getMessage(), forgotpass));
                }
            }
        }
}

Please use below code for that, it will solve your problem.

public static boolean isEmailValid(String email) {
    boolean isValid = false;

    String expression = "^[\\w\\.-]+@([\\w\\-]+\\.)+[A-Z]{2,4}$";
    CharSequence inputStr = email;

    Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(expression, Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE);
    Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(inputStr);
    if (matcher.matches()) {
        isValid = true;
    }
    return isValid;
}

And see below Stack Overflow link for more information.
