isEmailValid
Validates if this string is a properly formatted email address.
Uses Android's built-in Patterns.EMAIL_ADDRESS for validation, which checks for:
Proper email format (local-part@domain)
Valid characters in local and domain parts
At least one dot in the domain
Usage Examples
// In a ViewModel - validate user input
fun validateEmail(email: String): Boolean {
return email.isEmailValid()
}
// In a Composable - show error state
var email by remember { mutableStateOf("") }
var isError by remember { mutableStateOf(false) }
OutlinedTextField(
value = email,
onValueChange = {
email = it
isError = !it.isEmailValid()
},
isError = isError,
label = { Text("Email") }
)
// Null-safe usage
val userEmail: String? = getUserEmail()
if (userEmail.isEmailValid()) {
sendEmail(userEmail!!)
