Kotlin - Validating URL with custom URL scheme

Question

In my app, I can have web URL starting with "https://" or "http://" or URL with custom scheme starting with "custom://" or "testing://".

I tried using URLUtil.isValidUrl() , but this returns true only if URL starts with http or https.

How can I validate the URL with custom scheme in android?

If i understand right, you just need to validate if the syntaxe is right, right ?

I did an sample here to validate URLs using Regex

val regex = "([A-Za-z]*:\\/\\/)?\\S*".toRegex()

fun isValidUrl(url: String): Boolean {
    return regex.containsMatchIn(url)
}
