Closed sirvon closed 9 years ago

I know I'm cheating but hey #YOLO...

thanks for the lib btw!

So, If I want to exclude certain words from being entered/accepted in the edittext, what shall i do?

for example, if a app member types, vase, I want to tell them sorry but that word can't be submitted.

Thanks!!

You want to allow everything but some words?

What about using something like 

FormEditText myEditText = (FormEditText) findViewById(R.id.my_edittext);
Validator validator = new NotValidator("You cannot use these words", new  RegexpValidator(null, "(banana|apple)"));

myEditText.addValidator(validator);

This will pass for everything not containing the words banana or apple :)
