Android: Validate Phone Number Length by COUNTRY

Question

How can we validate the length of a mobile number by COUNTRY? (Knowing that the country code might or might not be part of the number)

Length may vary per country, meaning there should be a length range or pattern validator.

Example:

• +1 222 2222 222 (13 digits) Valid ✔️
• 222 2222 222 (12 digits) Valid only if chosen in corresponding Locale ✔️
• +1 222 2222 2222222 (17 digits) Invalid ❌
• +1 222 2222 (8 digits) Invalid ❌

Note: Any idea where can I find each country's mobile number length range.

Thank you!

Kotlin answer

val swissNumberStr = "044 668 18 00"
val phoneUtil = PhoneNumberUtil.getInstance()

try {

    val swissNumberPrototype = phoneUtil.parse(swissNumberStr, "CH")

    val isValid = phoneUtil.isValidNumber(swissNumberPrototype)

    if (isValid) {
        // do something
    } else {
        // do something else
    }

} catch (e: NumberParseException) {
    System.err.println("NumberParseException was thrown: $e")
}
