Compare multiple strings android

Question

what I am trying to do is check if multiple srings are null in order to go to the next activity, something like this:

if( string1.equal(null) && ... stringN.equal(null))
{ Toast.makeText(this, "something is empty", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();}
else
{ GO TO THE NEXT ACTIVITY}

all of the strings have to have content... Any help would be great

If you have have a variable number of strings to check I would do something like the following:

private boolean validate(String... items) {
  for (String item : items) {
    if (TextUtils.isEmpty(item)) {
      return false;
    }
  }
  return true;
}

Then your code would call the validate method with as many strings as you need to validate:

if (validate(string1, string2, stringN)) {
  Toast.makeText(this, "something is empty", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} else { 
  // GO TO THE NEXT ACTIVITY
}
