How to validate a textview in android?

Question

I have a text-view with one background image (eg a signature image). When the user clicks on the text-view it retrieves a sign from the database and sets it as a background for the text-view. I want to validate the text-view (ie ensure that the text-view background is a signature or database sign).

How can I do that?

Answer 1

You can use getBackground() to get the drawable that is currently set as the background.'

However, a better method would be to use setTag("signature") when setting the signature image, and setTag("database") when setting the database image, and then comparing it later using ((String)getTag()).equals(<whatever you want to check>)
