OnTextChanged triggered before writing anything Im using EditText and trying to validate it. In my validations, Im checking if the EditText is empty and if it is, shows an error. My problem is that my error is showing when the activity starts and when I didnt click anything, so is triggering before I write anything and before any text change. What I want is to show this error If I write something and then I delete all, but not when the activity is created because will always be empty. Any idea?
