Communicating Errors on EditText Inputs #38

Open chriscm2006 opened 5 years ago

chriscm2006 commented 5 years ago

What is the best way to communicate errors on input in editable text views.

Behavioral Example

A hypothetical view where a user is setting up a new account, and the way a perfectly able person would interact with it.

  1. User enters First Name, Last Name, Username and Password into a set of four EditText boxes.
  2. User hits submit on a button.
  3. User is not allowed to continue, because the password doesn't have a carrot. Stupid password security team and their insane password requirements!
  4. User sees a message indicating that a ^ is required.
  5. User enters a ^ into the end of the box.
  6. User hits submit again and successfully creates an account.
