Phone number validation Android

How do I check if a phone number is valid or not? It is up to length 13 (including character + in front).

How do I do that?

I tried this:

String regexStr = "^[0-9]$";

String number=entered_number.getText().toString();  

if(entered_number.getText().toString().length()<10 || number.length()>13 || number.matches(regexStr)==false  ) {
    Toast.makeText(MyDialog.this,"Please enter "+"\n"+" valid phone number",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    // am_checked=0;
}`

And I also tried this:

public boolean isValidPhoneNumber(String number)
{
     for (char c : number.toCharArray())
     {
         if (!VALID_CHARS.contains(c))
         {
            return false;
         }
     }
     // All characters were valid
     return true;
}

Both are not working.

Input type: + sign to be accepted and from 0-9 numbers and length b/w 10-13 and should not accept other characters

You can use PhoneNumberUtils if your phone format is one of the described formats. If none of the utility function match your needs, use regular experssions.
