Android Question Phone TextBox

[Cableguy]

Hi guys

I want to have a Phone EditBox on one of my layouts with the particular propertie of being able to check if the Phone Number is in a correct format... Upon Saving this info, this Phone Number will be shown in a label... how can I check the number format in the TextBox and how can I execute a "call this number" when the user clicks the label??

Dim p As PhoneCalls
StartActivity(p.Call("1234567890"))

Dim p As PhoneCalls
StartActivity(p.Call("1234567890"))

Thanks Don, That makes it one less problem, any suggestion for the custom number format?

I think RegEx well be your friend here. You'll need to decide what number format(s) you want to allow. Check out this link...

you can use the masked-edit-text to force the user to give the right syntax
