I am trying to read data from a textarea (JTextArea) and store the contents into a table(MySQL). I don't want the INSERT query to execute if the textarea is empty or has a newline without any text. I tried the following code but it does not work. Could someone help me out. Thanks.
String data=todo_area.getText();//read contents of text area into 'data'
String newline = System.getProperty("line.separator");
boolean hasNewline = data.contains(newline);
if (data == null || !data.trim().equals("")||hasNewline==false)
{
//INSERT query
}
java

For me it's enough using this condition:
if ((data.trim().length() > 0) && (!hasNewline)){
//do the insert
}
data.trim().length() > 0 is enough to make sure that the input is not null.
