title: How to check if EditText has a value in Android / Java
body: <p>This should be simple, but I have tried if statements checking for null values and also ones checking the .length of it:</p>
  
  <pre><code>EditText marketValLow = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.marketValLow);
  EditText marketValHigh = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.marketValHigh);
  if (marketValLow.getText().length() != 0 &amp;&amp; marketValHigh.getText().length() != 0) {
      Intent intent = new Intent();
      intent.setClass(v.getContext(), CurrentlyOwe.class);
      startActivity(intent);
  } else {
      Toast.makeText(CurrentMarketValue.this, "You need to enter a high AND low.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>But it doesn't detect nothing was entered. Any ideas?</strong></p>
