To validate Email address

/**
* Add StringExtention to validate the emails 
*
*	fun String.isValidEmail(): Boolean = this.isNotEmpty() &&
*        Patterns.EMAIL_ADDRESS.matcher(this.trim()).matches()
* 
*/
var isEmail = et_email.validate("Valid email address required"){ s -> s.isValidEmail() }

To check minimum and Maximum length

et_email.validate("Minimum length is 6"){ s-> s.length>=4 && s.length<=10 }
